Nobody expects Viscera. Except maybe his cardiologist.

Dead.

Because A) That's not how Wikipedia formats it's dates. and I've checked that page everyday so I know that the "Died 18 January 2014" part wasn't there before. The small bio section is lifted from Wikipedia but the date of birth and date of death aren't.

But look at the dates under the name, the "Born 15 May 1951. Died 18 January 2014" part. That was just recently changed, and is independent of the Wikipedia article. Whoever maintains the BBC Music website took the time to add the date of death, which I believe counts as an obit.

I'm fairly sure it does.

Internet reviewer Justin "Jew Wario" Carmical, dead at 42 from suicide.

iirc the BBC Playlist section falls under the same ruling as the Sky "Journalists" page: because it's just scraped material from another site that updates automatically (as opposed to the manual insertion of AP stories onto The Guardian's "World" section) it doesn't count. Otherwise Chick/Chuck/Chock Wills would have scored points in 2013. As I figured. It's not an obit until that "Born 15 May 1951" tagline is updated to say "15 May 1951-18 January 2013"

Does this count as an obit for Fergie Frederiksen?

Hopefully, Mike Porcaro also dies this year and some obit writer will write "Porcaro is the 2nd member of Toto to die this year, after former lead singer Fergie Frederiksen"

And I'm on the board.

Does this count? Not so much a report on his death, but a report that mentioned that he has died counts under DDP rules IIRC.

The death of Hiroo Onoda, assuming he gets an obit (and I think he will), makes January 16th the record breaker with 5 hits.

Coburn won't serve the rest of his Senate term due to "deepening problems with his health". Damn. Should of put him on my main team.

Don't cry for him, he's already dead. Alternatively: Sam Simon Died on the Way Back to his Home Planet
