    Deathlist Cup 2024

    I actually think that counts, as it's an official, curated source of information. I'll update tomorrow.

    Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. It's auto-translated from this real article: https://samnytt.se/sven-olof-sallstrom-sd-ar-dod-akesson-en-svart-dag But the link above is not the english-language version of that newspaper but something else, not even a blog. All the links on the web page don't work... and what is it about that "Sample Page".

    Amitabh Bachchan

    Amitabh Bachchan is the all-time greatest Bollywood star and 75 years old now. He has periodically suffered from ill health and recently fell ill again: http://www.sify.com/movies/will-pray-to-god-he-will-be-alright-rajinikanth-on-amitabh-bachchans-ill-health-news-bollywood-sdpmdyjdgbjhd.html He also has hepatitis C and lost 75% of his liver function: http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/i-am-surviving-only-on-25-per-cent-of-my-liver-today-amitabh-bachchan/ I think he should get more attention from us.

    Ah yes, the blockage has been fixed. Bozeman city commissioner I-Ho Pomeroy has died. As mentioned elsewhere, she had a brain tumour and surgery. While the surgery was initially successful, the tumour came back with a vengeance and killed her pretty quickly. Watchul observers noted her entering hospice. She seems to have been well-respected in the city, for her political work and her restaurant. You could say, she was the Councillor Jason Smith of Montana.... Also, Ghanaian musician KK Kabobo has died. Can't say I've heard of him before, so here you go: Well, it sounds meh... He died of a liver disease that he was battling for decades and leaves behind 16 children. These two hits are the first ones in this round that are not unique. So a few players rejoice, and curiously two players have both of these names, wannamaker and DevonDeathTrip: AltObitsGuy 0-0 theoldlady Perhaps 0-0 TheKillingTime Spade_Cooley 0-4 GuyFromFuture Hell 0-0 Famous6eva Grim Up North 0-4 Death By Arsenic Cpt.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    After Tasha Butts, I-Ho Pomeroy might be the 2nd fatality of the list that I called "Meh":

    Well, several players might soon receive some points if I-Ho Pomeroy has indeed died:

    King Charles III

    That's what they say. I don't know, I look at this picture and think it's not that easy. But I do believe that it's not stage 4. And with his access to healthcare he should still be more likely than not to live for 5 more years (I think it's a 60-40 bet).

    Personal death of the year, already. Just slightly above Pigcasso.

    King Charles III

    Damn, I thought I had posted it here, but yes, that was my hunch, bladder cancer, and more than stage 1. There were some pictures in People magazine, he's gotten noticably thinner. They're putting him through the ringer. It's probably stage 3. The treatment has been going on far too long for something minor.

    I need to have a closer look at this later. At first glance, it appears to be another clickbait auto-translate site. The english is pretty bad, the age is wrong. The url does not look official, I think this site just re-arranges the letters of the "New York Times" into " Time News". The typeface is the same.

    I somewhat concur. Bonus points when it's about the failures of the high and mighty.

    "Timeless love reflections" does not count though - obvious AI generated clickfarm.

    Philippe De Gaulle is our 4th hit this month, and the 4th unique hit at that! So much for competitive cult picks.... He was the son of a french president, a Navy man, and also a bit of a politician.... That career path reminds me a bit of one of the Roosevelts, can't quite remember who. Apart from the prominent father, he also received some of that World War II fame which is slowly becoming a rarity. Death By Arsenic goes into the lead with their real team, you know, not the one with Sophia Loren. Also, that Eric Dornfeld obit, it's not really coming, is it? At least, now we know where to draw the line: Still active college football players in their 20s and dying of sarcoma - yes, college hockey players in their late 50s who played for a short time in the 80s - no.

    Royal Family

    Is Catherine dead? asks John Oliver jokingly: https://metro.co.uk/2024/03/13/tv-host-jokes-kate-middleton-could-died-18-months-ago-20454361/ I mean, I kind of get it. The future queen hasn't been seen in months. Why have a picture with the children anyway?

    Last Of The Iron Lungs

    Well, there's a german obit for Paul Alexander: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/projekte/artikel/magazin/eiserne-lunge-polio-paul-alexander-texas-beatmung-e348607/?reduced=true A reliable paper. They had interviewed him a couple of weeks ago. So it's maybe true, but strange that other media isn't following up yet.

    Charlie Bird is dead - and a unique (!) hit for therewillbedeaths7. The veteran Irish journalist was the primary media contact for the provisional IRA in the 1990s after having reported on the peace process for a decade. Not only that, he covered global issues for about 40 years until his MND diagnosis finally slowed him down. He pretty much alerted everybody to his impending death, though MND/ALS is always tricky to time.
