My pick Cassiano has died: https://wepublishnews.com/news/brazilian-singer-and-songwriter-cassiano-dies-at-77#:~:text=The singer and songwriter Cassiano,then at Carlos Chagas Hospital. The same "wepublishnews" outfit that also scored for Rodolfo Garcia. I'm not sure how legit that is, though.

I see... the mental relaxation for the intellectual. Thanks!

Grey's Anatomy, 17 seasons? How? And why?

Oh, so he was the one who sang on "I Promised Myself". A perennial radio number here in Germany.

Brazilian actor Paulo Gustavo dead at 42: https://www.designerwomen.co.uk/celebrities-and-friends-react-to-the-death-of-paulo-gustavo-victim-of-covid-19/?amp=1 I thought he was young enough to survive it, but no, Covid has been merciless.

Well, her health problems were written about in English, too. Then I caught the update...somewhere....because she was on my lists.

^^ The 98 was the score. We've had a couple of hits now. Rodion GA, Anne Buydens on my side, too.. lots of others, I guess.

My pick Sarena Li has died: https://tw.news.yahoo.com/抗癌女歌手不敵病魔享年31歲-友代家人悲痛證實噩耗-111401186.html That's... 124 points?

Hong Kong Singer Sarena Li, also known as Li Mingwei, dead of cancer at 31: https://hk.appledaily.com/entertainment/20210504/IKPI7NOTMREZVP5OJ4YN3YCT7M/ Hare's Deadpool pick of mine. She had a downturn last month, too, but I thought she had a few weeks more time.

That's good enough for a podium place! (It's one of the two games to feature on all the first 3 charts.)

Alright, I'm collecting some Deathlist Cup records - work in progress: Best individual monthly performance (20+ points): 2021: Banana - GreatUncle Bulgaria 23-6 (March) 2019: JoeyRuss - Banana 15-22 (March) 2020: Death Impends - msc 22-12 (May) 2021: Spade Cooley - Grim Up North 21-9 (March) 2019: Reptile - Banana 6-21 (May) 2019: John Key - Death Impends 0-21 (April) 2019: Bibliogryphon - Spade Cooley 0-21 (April) Best monthly performance by a pair of opponents (25+ points): 2019: JoeyRuss - Banana 15-22 (March) 2020: Death Impends - msc 22-12 (May) 2019: Reptile - msc 19-12 (March) 2021: Spade Cooley - Grim Up North 21-9 (March) 2019: Spade Cooley - Death Impends 17-13 (May) 2021: Banana - GreatUncleBulgaria 23-6 (March) 2020: Skinny Kiltrunner - SirCreep 14-14 (February) 2019: Clorox Bleachman - Cpt.

However, we still accepted FFBIs back then of which DI picked two. I also suffered from 2 non-obits IIRC. 2017 scored somewhat differently, but they also allowed FFBIs. Still, there are actually not that many record-breaking games in 2017 and 2018.

Yeah, I can add the age at death separately, and added a comment that her previous birthdate was wrong.

Oops,... well, it seems the lunch break updates while working from home are a bit lacking in quality, compared to the evening updates.

Alright, let's go for an update before I forget that André Maranne died and he already did so in April. There were also Anne Buydens and Litsa Menounos. But that's it!

Netball star-turned-politician Margaret Forsyth dead from cancer at 59: https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/125022066/hamilton-city-councillor-former-silver-fern-margaret-forsyth-dies She had announced her health-related retirement just three weeks ago: https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/124818533/hamilton-city-councillor-ex-silver-fern-margaret-forsyth-taking-leave-understood-to-have-cancer

My pick Mela Raghu has died: https://english.mathrubhumi.com/mobile/movies-music/movie-news/actor-mela-raghu-passes-away-1.5639552

Congratulations Death Impends!!

Bill and Melinda Gates, WTF...?? https://news.sky.com/story/billionaires-bill-gates-and-wife-melinda-to-get-divorced-after-27-years-12294418

Book gave me a birthyear of 1954. So maybe there's a year difference or so? Though I think we've got a general idea of her age in any case, let's hope that 1 point doesn't matter in the end.

MPFC will catch up very soon, once all of Spade's picks are dead :). Interesting to think about, though, is that Spade only has 3 uniques. MPFC has 8 uniques, including the joker. One of Spade's uniques might not score. And I wonder, what's wrong with Horacio Verbinsky?

Sabbam Hari also dead now: https://www.thehansindia.com/news/cities/visakhapatnam/visakhapatnam-former-anakapalle-mp-passes-away-while-undergoing-covid-treatment-684649

Alan Moore, the British comic book author, announced a new 5-part epic fantasy series: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/may/03/im-bursting-with-fiction-alan-moore-announces-five-volume-fantasy-epic He's always been in our sights for his gaunt, haggard look. But now he probably thinks he can live long enough to finish this.

Fritz Pleitgen update: https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.fritz-pleitgen-hat-krebs-so-geht-es-ihm-heute.42fc23f8-e690-4fdb-93f7-f0e39f4be5a8.html He's okay. Some good, some bad days. Looking emaciated to the german eyes who watched him for 30 years. Probably a few months left, I'd say. Like Alcee Hastings late last year.
