Ariana Grande, tiny pop strumpet whose skintone has darkened 500% in the past five years, is clearly the Jonah of pop: people come into contact with her and drop dead seemingly instantly. As deadpoolers, we should adopt a "Thank U, Next" attitude, so here's some names to consider Pete Davidson: Ex-boyfriend, looks like absolute shit even at the best of times, dominated the press over the weekend by apparently threatening to commit suicide on Instagram. You would have thought he'd get enough dying every week on Saturday Night Live etc etc etc Marjorie Grande: Grandmother, 93 years old and a guaranteed Daily Mail QO when she passes. Big Sean: Paedo-y ex, has had legal troubles in the past but apparently doing well enough to buy Slash from Guns N Roses' old house Victoria Justice: It was supposed to be her... the Marty Jannetty of teen TV, has to have some possibilities as a suicide case Dan Schneider: [deleted on legal grounds]

Someone here thanking a hospice for looking after their father Bill Hargreaves who died on March 19. Clicking through to their profile reveals a picture of a man in the 70s holding a Yoda puppet, so I think that's a match.

Denise Holstein dead at 97.

Frank Kelly, who has fought bowel cancer in the past, has now been diagnosed with Parkinson's. This thread will also, presumably, double as a thread for Irish TV character actors. If one of the more listmania posters on the site could do the honours via IMDB that'd be appreciated.

Former Kerrang editor, and contributor to most places that write about music, James McMahon dead at 44. Very much a "troubled" individual but looks like it was cancer that took him out rather than his own hand.

Score one for Peter Sinfield here.

William Hill's doing 10/1 on the draw, take that all day long.

Never mentioned on the forum before and never picked in the DDP, but groundbreaking British female boxer Barbara Buttrick turns 95 next month and was covered by the BBC earlier this year.

Maybe I'm too far down the rabbithole, but this doesn't strike me as exactly the reason the Democrats lost.

Going to Berlin later this month, was checking out some reviews of the hotel we're staying at on TripAdvisor (4.5 from 4,591 ratings). However, this dissenting voice has decided it's "woke" because there's no bedside USB chargers.

Kudos to the "you know, I think Timothy looks worse than Prunella" brigade in this thread.

Chanel Maya Banks, an actress who had a recurring role in Gossip Girl, hasn't been heard from since October 30. Could her husband, who is apparently refusing to speak to authorities, have anything to do with it? That's one secret I'll never tell. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Tom Gerrard, who played a lance corporal, I believe is still alive. Was living in Hove in 2008 and has a bunch of interests on Company House, pretty sure he'd not go off-radar. The Zulu movie forum (I was surprised as well) seems to think he's still alive as well. There's also a couple of possibles from the credits , but good luck finding child actor Daniel Tshabalala's current status without crashing into 400 mentions of the former Bafana Bafana international of the same name.

William Radice, poet but probably more famed for his work as a translator/reviewer/general pointsman for Bengali-language literature in the anglosphere, dead at 73.

Fucking blows my mind that Woody Woodbury is still going, I remember him being used as a "how is this guy not dead?" punchline 15 years ago.

He don't wanna wait, for his life to be over....

Still top 10 internet gags of all-time imho

Someone who wasn't a beauty queen for one thing. (a very, very minor model from the late 90s, career height was appearing on the cover of The Face when that still meant anything)

While looking for Dick Medrano info, came across this tweet from a wrestling historian who says that "Cowboy" Bob Ellis is still alive and they've been in contact with his family, but is in no condition to give interviews.

Posted this two years ago... anyone fancy seeing if he is still alive? Of course death records for Mexico are absolutely fucked so not the easiest thing to look through. There's a (much younger) luchador, Vandal Drummond, saying that he's still alive last year here. When he was mentioned on WrestlingClassics as a shout for the oldest living wrestler earlier this year, nobody argued (and those guys are pedantic as fuck). But are these people just parroting what's available online or is there actual proof Dick Medrano is still with us? We've got a real name, which is sometimes tough for luchadors (Avelino Palomo Hernandez). A date of birth (November 10, 1921). Married to Maria Antonia Gonzalez, who this website says died in 1987. We even have an actual address for him in the 50s... but no proof he's actually alive. Anyone?

Ken Patera turned 81 the other day. Assuming this is a new photo (and I couldn't see it elsewhere online), looking surprisingly good for his age:

Alright, there's enough of us on here now to have earned our own topic. Andrea Camilleri, Topo Gigio creator Maria Perego, Nico Fidenco, Omero Antonutti... this is where they go when they experience La Dolce Morte.

Was looking at his career history on Wikipedia, surely this takes the prize for "football team that sounds most like it committed several atrocities during wartime"
