Billionaire husband and wife Hans Kristian and Eva Rausing have both just been charged with possession of heroin and crack cocaine. According to this Daily Mail "exclusive", they're both caught in a downward spiral of chronic drug abuse.

I have recently unearthed several ecclesatical leaders, who are very aged or in frail health. Sadly, none of them are really famous enough to qualify for their own thread, but I would think most of them should get an obit in the UK. It has been a spiritually enriching experience, reading about the exploits of fine fellows below. Feel free to add any men of God I might have missed: Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria 17th March 2012 Archbishop Christodoulos 28th January 2008 Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria 6th November 2012 Whakahuihui Vercoe of Rotorua 13th November 2007 Cahal Cardinal Daly 31st December 2009 Pavle, Patriarch of Serbia 15th November 2009 The Most Reverend and Most Holy Father, His Beatitude Ignatius IV, Patriarch of Antioch, the Great City of God, of Syria, Lebanon, Arabia, Cilicia, Mesopotamia and all the East 5th December 2012 I predict they will all be dead within 2 3 4 5 6 years.

Three armed men wearing body armour have shot 20 people on a golf course in San Bernardino, California. This article mutters about hostages and explosives.... I'm listening now on the police scanner.

@The Old Crem I have hidden your most recent post as, yet again, you have chosen to regurgitate a tweet and plaster it here with no context whatsoever. The tweet has no information about Sharon Osborne's health and you haven't even bothered to type anything which may indicate why it might be interesting. If you want to have another go, you're welcome. You seriously need to work on your quality control though!

There's been a lot of press coverage recently about the three DL jailbirds - Susan Atkins, Ronnie Biggs and Abdelbaset Al-megrahi. Two of them are now free and Atkins is up for another parole hearing on Sept 2nd, although she will be up against the American justice system, who generally take a harder line when it comes to matters of compassion and mercy. There is a reasonable chance that they will all be dead by the end of the year. I suggest that the 2010 DL should have another prisoner on the list, there's plenty of choice of ailing criminals, and their lawyers generally drip feed us with information about their clients' declining health. I've thought of a few who might make the grade: Ian Brady -Constant hunger strikes and forty plus years of custody will take their toll before too long. William Heirens - Not exactly a household name in the UK, but he is America's and possibly the world's longest serving inmate. He hasn't been a free man since 1946. Donald Neilson - The Black Panther. In jail since 1975, now believed to be suffering from motor neurone disease. Ian Huntley - Would be a bit of a result if he actually died in 2010, but he is due to be "integrated" with the general prison population shortly. I'm sure some of his fellow inmates will have received enough incitement from The Sun to do him in. If anyone else can think of a deserving candidate, please post here.

I was thinking of coming with a deadpool theme team comprised of people with a surname beginning with Z. However I am struggling a bit, the only ones I've thought of so far are: Velimir Zajec - former Portsmouth manager, ill with motor neurone disease Efrem Zimbalist - Actor And that's it. Wikipedia has a massive list of live Zs, but I can't be bothered to trawl through all of it. I need more old and ill Zs. (Not dead Zs, they can go on the dead thread) any suggestions would be gratefully received If this goes the way of the last thread I started (about Fleetwood Mac) I'll be very disappointed.

Last minute sub Martin Jones scores for me.

Impressive how Remco Evenepoel, with less than a second's thinking time, managed to bunny hop over that ditch at around 40 mph before coming to grief.

Less of that please! We've had complaints.

Thanks and bad luck on one of your picks finding the back of the net just as the final whistle was blown. Hope you come back stronger next year

Good luck Sir Creep. Both of my subs were used late last night. My joker, Sheriff Lacy Rogers, jumped the starting gun and I fell victim to one of those news bots which provided a seemingly contemporaneous account of Nicholas Lloyd Webber's critical ill health.

I must have seen him at least a couple of times with Fairport. Reading through Conway's Wiki page, that's quite a CV.

Nick Du Toit who was jailed for 34 years for his part in the failed uprising in Equatorial Guinea, might be a good wildcard bet for 2006. He was the fall guy of the operation, whilst the bigger fish such as Mark Thatcher and Simon Mann got off comparatively lightly. Amnesty International rank the prison system in E Guinea as one of the worst in the world, few inmates survive more than 3 years. As Mr Du Toit as been in the slammer for 2 years already and has another 31 to go and as he has been abandoned to his fate by those with friends in high places, he might just give up and die before too long.

He was a wicket-keeper, Diego. No goalkeepers in cricket.

I wonder how Camilla's public profile will evolve over the next year or so? She seems like a bit of a trooper and her visibility will increase as she stands in for Charles. Big Archers fan as well.

An article on why my beloved Exeter City, who haven't sacked a manager in over twenty years, are unlikely to feature on this thread much.

Marwan Issa One thing Israel, Hamas and the US can all agree on - he's dead.

As he's on my cup squad, I'd liken that to a straight red card.

Issa was a pick for A Pelican in the Wilderness on the DDP, who will soar to new heights if points are awarded. Hamas have confirmed he is dead.

"Deteriorating Health" is a good search term. In my experience African media seem to use it as a euphemism for "about to drop dead", hence me including our man Kabobo when I saw this at the end of February.

(...) Moving on, there are very few people left alive who use an iron lung. Now there is one less, following a power cut in Boston, which killed Dianne Odell, 61, who had relied on the machine since she was 3 years old.

I was wondering if there was any information on the whereabouts of Colleen McCabe, the former nun who became a headmistress and was jailed for stealing £500k of her school’s budget by using a corporate credit card. The trail seems to have gone very cold since her release from prison in late 2005. She was rather heavy set at the time of her conviction and would be in her 70s now. I did wonder if she might have re-entered a convent. She was played by Pauline Quirke in a BBC drama about her misdeeds

Fear not, Deathlist has a thread for most occasions

Sad about Karl Wallinger. Is It Like Today was a thing of beauty. The Flying Burrito Brothers, in all of their incarnations, have 56 members on their Wikipedia entry, 28 of whom have blue links.

Am I the only person who's never heard of him or his creation?
