If Maude Apatow makes it, she can go on straight away.

No obit of any kind out there yet, but some minor confirmation in this YouTube comment.

I was informed by my more TikTok-familiar partner that jonnytsunami808, 2.4 million followers, has a "second-degree heart block" but is opting not to get a pacemaker. So if you need to make up the numbers for an influencer theme team, he's there.

Simplest dead pool ever. Pick a person born in 2001. First death wins. "Famous for being ill" types are barred, there must be media coverage of the individual that precedes any reference to their health.

Congrats to Summer in Transylvania. Is the follow-up pool "pick two people born in 2002"?

He was always very much "mum: we have Q-Tip at home".

How obscure can we go? The first 9 x 9 wordsquares were created by Palmer Peterson, who died in 1979 and - thanks to his contributions to the world of crosswording in the US - was widely obitted. However, the second person to discover a 9 x 9 wordsquare (where nine nine-letter words form a grid that spells each word across and down), and the only other person who'd discovered one at the time of Peterson's death, was Noble Holderread. Looks like he died in March 2017. Bonus trivia: his son, Noble Holderread Jr, was a child actor who played Natalie Wood and Robert Culp's son in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.

It is mad that Chris Chan may have, outside of possibly some royals, the most heavily documented life of any person in history.

They had an early 90s hit with "Jump" and wore their jeans backwards.

Pocket sand in the lungs?

Most attention DJ Minutemix has had since he raped that 14-year-old.

Peppino Gagliardi, Neapolitan/pop crossover artist of the 60s and 70s, two-time San Remo runner-up and a regular fixture on the soundtracks of American films set in Italy, dead at 83. Cited by Benny Andersson as a key influence on early ABBA.

The man knew his way around a zinger though:

2018 meme Lil Tay, aka "the internet's youngest flexer", has been announced as dead (along with her brother) on her official Instagram page. Feels a bit like a hoax/prank to me, but the mainstream media is already writing about it so....

Fully support the millennial takeover of this site, gonna set up a "Who's Dying First: Eamon or Frankee?" poll.

In the same year at school as Roy Hodgson (John Ruskin Grammar), fact fans.

Take it back now y'all.

Did that actually happen or has he confused real life with a Boys' Own comic?

Longest-serving Japanese PM in history, already stepped down from the role once in 2007 due to chronic ulcerative colitis, has recently visited hospital twice in the space of a few days - sparking concern about his health across Glorious Nippon. He's refused to reveal what the purpose of the visits was, and chronic ulcerative colitis is a risk factor for colon cancer.

Long-time commissioner of Major League Eating (including during the controversial Kobayashi/Chestnut feud years) Charles Hardy has died of cancer aged 57. A former competitive eater himself, at his death he still held the world record for cabbage (6 pounds and 9 ounces in 9 minutes).

Eleven years later, Carl Davis is now dead. In addition to World at War he also did stuff like The Naked Civil Servant, conducted the BBC's 2006 World Cup theme, and was married to "person you were surprised to find was still alive" Jean Boht.

Vince McMahon has been on "medical leave" from all responsibilities since July 21st, according to the WWE's Q2 earnings report. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact he was subpoenaed four days earlier and had his offices searched by federal law enforcers.

And that, I would say, is a wrap.

Paul Reubens, Fred Willard, Gerald Sinstadt - the past few years have been pretty hard on those who enjoy a leisurely chug at the flicks.
