Al Molinaro Just have a hunch someone from an old Us Sitcom is next

William Perry is both a former secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton and also in the Usa well known former football player called William "The Refridgerator" Perry. Both seem highly likely to be picked one because he is in 80s the other because of obesity and other health problems Nathan Williams is an American musician in the Indy Rock band Wavves and a Welsh Rugby Player albeit both of them are pretty young and seem unlikely picks Then there is Joe Jackson singer of 80's hits" Stepping Out"" Breaking Us In Two" etc and also Michael Jackson's dad Also Tony Bennett the well known easy listening singer and also Tony Bennett the college basketball Coach at Virginia Richard Williams (Tennis Player Venus and Serena's dad) and also animator who won 2 Oscars for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Florenta Mihai Finalist at the 1977 French Open is dead at age 60. She was the 1st Romanian woman to reach a Grand Slam Singles Final She also has the unwanted distinction of being the 1st Open Era RG Singles Finalist to pass away

So he's not exactly at death's door yet, huh? Although Sir Christopher Lee had similar plans before his death earlier this year, so you never know... Christopher Lee is a well known icon. For a a huge name like that is worth the insurance risk. Even if he is talented actor the fact that an Indy Film studio has signed off on a tv actor like Kerchaval means he is thought of as very little risk to actually kick the bucket in the next year, as it's likely he would have to do insurance health screenings for a studio to sign off on him.

Yes, if she lasts the next three months, she will be a certainty for 2016. Yes, I am not sure if she ever became internationally famous - I doubt it. It is a pity, as the English love a good eccentric and we all know Jeanne is very, very eccentric. I suppose it will come down to a choice between the DL Committee balancing a near-certain hit against Jeanne's international fame level. Turns out that Jeanne once recorded a song... Cheers for this!I can`t get it out my fucking head as much as I wish I could as it is worse than hearing nails scrape a blackboard!Digital spy have covered her failing health twice in the last few years.I suppose that could be counted as making her death likely to be reported in the UK media. As Digital Spy is the only UK site to have an article about her ,the chances she gets a qualifying UK Obit are very iffy. The deathlist committee picking her would be a Dennis"Fergie" Frederiksen situation all over again.

Apparently he had a drug overdose. Huge oversight not to include him on my Reality Show DDP theme team this year.

Sergio Caprari Silver Medalist in the Featherweight Division at the 1952 Olympics is dead at age 83

She has been featured in the New York Times. It's possible she get's an AP write up in the Us which leads to a copy and paste obit from Daily Mail.

I just checked and there is no Ella Enchanted thread already,so if anything happens to Jimi Mistry this might be the only thread for proper inclusion for him besides dead of (whatever year)

Even though I had seen his name on DDP every year for some reason I forgot he was Welsh

I would be shocked if Carter or Crowe were alive 12 months from now. The rest it would not shock me if any of them were still alive in 3-4 years.

If being the most respected iconic person of a genre of music does not merit one's own thread then who really does.

Every time during the week when this happens reminds me of this Onion article. http://www.theonion.com/article/no-way-to-prevent-this-says-only-nation-where-this-36131

Maralyn Hershey A contestant from season 2 the most watched season in the Us had an interview from a local paper posted on Survivors reddit page. She is a 66 yo who is off and on the bottle. I am thinking despite how little of an entity she is as a public figure almost anyone from the show would scrape through with a Daily Mail mention. She might be worth a punt in the future at some point.

Akira Hokuto Former WCW Womens Champ and star in her native Japan has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Yogi Berra Baseball Legend and alleged picnic basket enthusiast is dead at age 90 A 10 time World Series Champion with the Yankees he was one of the sports biggest Icons

Victor Deme The Acclaimed Burkina-Faso musician is dead at 53 from Malaria UK based Songlines magazine named his 2008 album the best of the year.No English Language obit yet but I think it's likely he will be get mentioned in The Guardian over the next few days.

His daughter actress Emmanuelle Beart was stunning back in the 90s.Sadly like many women in her field destroyed her looks with excessive plastic surgery

It's about the time of the year when people who have her on their DDP team are hoping her bleak outlook means a hit is coming and those who didn't pick her are hoping she can survive to Jan 1.

Mihai Volontir Prominent Soviet-Era Actor has died in his native Moldova at age 81

Moses Malone Hall Of Famer and 3 Time NBA MVP is dead at 60

And extrapolating that further of those 39 with DM obit 18 of them also had an Obit from at least 1 other source. Of the 21 Daily Mail Only Obits You have multiple Us Congressman/Governors B& WFilm Actresses / 2 Execs/ WW2 Notable One of NHL's most notable Hockey Coaches Adam Yahiye Gadahn-terrorist Wendell h ford-Us Governor mary healy-Notable 40s and 50s actress Sam Andrew-janis joplin collaborator Theodore Hesburgh-notre dame pres Real-reality star Yutaka Katayama-Nissan Exec Bob Benmosche-AIG exec Leandra Becerra Lumbreras-"127" year old Mexican Supercentenarian Robert L hite-ww2 doolittle raid Dave Benton-local us anchor Betsy Palmer -friday the 13th actress Jim Wright -us house speaker Jin Youzhi-sibling of chinese last emperor Francis George-Chicago Cardinal Mario Biaggi- Former Us Congressman NYC Richard Schweiker-Former Us Congressman Nour El-Sherif -Egyptian Actor Al Arbour-Ice Hockey Legend Stuart Wagstaff-Australian Entertainer Jayne Meadows-Emmy nominated actress/wife of steve allen The motivation for some to remove Daily Mail seems to be thinking it would weed out nonentities or people famous for dying. Of the 184 Hits so far taking out Daily Mail would only get rid of 2 such hits Leandra Becerra Lumbreras a fake 127 year old and Dave Benton a Local Us Anchor who became a "dying cancer person" hit. Basically the famous for dying of cancer like Lauren Hill types when they do pass seem either to be forgotten and become missed hits or they end up getting coverage from several outlets. If people want to exclude those type of hits from DDP removing one source or another for a valid obit won't end up removing those types of hits without a specific ambulance chasing no cancer lady rule.

Typically August and Sept are slower death months particularly in regards to the low hanging fruit variety that make up most of the top 50. Usually the last 5-6 weeks of the year leads to a lot of old timers going and people scrambling to replace names for their list of next year.
