    Gangster, Gangster

    Cosimo Di Lauro, aka "o' Chiatto" ("Fat Boy"), dead at 48. Leading camorrista, but perhaps best known outside of Italy for being the inspiration for the character of Genny in Gomorrah.

    Almost certainly nothing, but just so I can pat myself on the back if it does turn out to be something: Pete & Bas are "the world's oldest drill artists". They'd been putting out videos regularly for something like four years, even during lockdown. However, we've not see anything from them since last December, and Pete has been doing work elsewhere under his government name. So yeah, I'm keep an eye on Bas.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    Surprised some sub-100 poster hasn't suggested Ezra Miller around these parts yet, but: Ezra Miller.

    Still-living picks from Deathlist Cup finals 2021 Sasha Johnson Shakti Mishra Soulaimane Raissouni MakSim 2020 Derek Draper Ahmed Gohar - assuming this is the Kuwaiti singer/actor, he appears to still be alive but doesn't have the greatest online footprint so idk Asel Kadyrbekova Abdallah Meshref Arthur Neto Abdel Rahim Ali Alex Zanardi 2019 Doug De Roo Gavin Robertson 2018 Tom Crawford - no idea who this was meant to be. The footballer? The mathematician? The theologist? The artist? None of them have easily googleable health issues. Sean Cox Virgil Hunter Alejandro Junco de la Vega Rev Violet Mark - the Lakher Pioneer Mission hasn't mentioned her dying, so I have to assume she's still w/us. 2017 Assuming "Ahraf Rahi" is meant to be "Ashraf Rahi", the Pakistani comedian (who was in ill-health at the time), then everyone from the 2017 final is dead.

    The Happy Birthday Thread

    Happy 80th birthday to everyone's favourite kids' TV science host/serial killer expert, Fred Dineage. Has the feel of a future DL name if he can make it to 2032.

    Andy Fordham Memorial Darts Thread

    Greatbatch was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra Greatbatch, who was no slouch on the female side of the arrers (three time British Women's Open champion, played in 20 Women's Masters between 1987 and 2009). She got a QO last month.

    Turns out this was the cause of Jamal Edwards' death. White lines: don't do it.

    The 2022 Crowdsourced Deathlist

    Big shout, did someone think the "as if I had the capability to know what any of these people were even saying to strangers on Twitter while I was shitting blood for weeks on end" bit was a sign of her admitting bowel cancer?

    So in tribute to the last few posts, I decided to let Google machine-translate the latest update back-and-forth into English a few times. Joey Russ 7 vs Salmon Mousse 3 DevonDeathTrip 0 vs gcreptile 7

    That does count. Will update in the morning.

    Deathlist Cup 2022

    Zeta Emilianidou was the labor minister for Cyprus from 2013 up until a few minutes ago, when she finally carked it from complications of a massive intracranial aneurysm. Extended hospital stays are the scouting reports of the DL Cup, and so three teams score here: gcreptile shakes off the disappointment of El Noba being irrelevant to the anglosphere, while J-Ru and Sal-Mo stay four points apart.

    Deathlist Cup 2022

    OK, so let's get the non-contentious hit out of the way first. Despite gcreptile's attempt at crossbreeding her with Robin Van Persie, Renee Van Nett remains very much her own woman on the mortuary slab. From the Anishinaabe people, she was the first Native American to serve as head of Duluth City Council - arguably the last true glass ceiling indigenous Americans had left to shatter. She was preceded in the role by Gary Anderson, but presumably that's not the diabetic darts moaner. A unique hit for Joey Russ, who goes 4-0 in his clash. Elsewhere... El Noba's only English-language obits so far do appear to be machine translated. However, El Pais is an accepted source for QOs in this contest. And there is a story about his death in El Pais.... the Uruguayan edition. Which is hosted on a different domain to the actual El Pais site. If it was on elpais.com/uruguay I'd accept it. As it's elpais.com.uy, I feel that doesn't quite hit requirements. A QO probably will come, just on traffic chasing from Latin America, but if it doesn't... I dare say that's the risk you pick when selecting a guy whose fame rests on being part of one song that hit #9 in Argentina last year. Joey Russ 4 vs Salmon Mousse 0 DevonDeathTrip 0 vs gcreptile 0

    Deathlist Cup 2022

    Going to wait a few hours for a non-machine translated English-language El Noba obit, if nothing comes through then I'll update solely with Duluth's finest.

    End of grime/start of drill crossover artist Hypo stabbed to death. Not a surprise considering some of his "extracurricular" activities. Probably better known to a mainstream audience as the guy Emeli Sandé left her husband for.

    Journalists

    Bell is on the current Unicef adverts, does he have Parkinson's? He has the same "grip the armchair and stare straight at the camera" look that Jeremy Paxman and Dave Clarke have had in recent TV appearances.

    Not to be confused with the "looked like he'd had a stroke" Forest manager of the 90s, that was Frank Clark.

    Blaze is marking the Jubilee with a 12-hour "Hardcore Pawn" marathon, so I'm now a royalist.

    Apparently Martin Mull does turn up in the new season of Grace and Frankie, so it looks like Willard Kraft is off the table for a pick.
