Dutch investigations can confirm that Trump's twitter account was actually hacked in Octobre: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/16/trumps-twitter-account-was-hacked-dutch-ministry-affirms The password was "maga2020!".... if you want to have a go yourself..

Out and about, but also not quite stable, I'd say... also, this paparazzi foto lighting makes one look really terrible: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9042447/Michael-Caine-87-wife-Shakira-73-hold-hands-following-romantic-meal.html

As of right now, we are exactly on par with 2016 and we are now up to a necessary "1 death per day" to break the record of 2016. However, we do not know how many late obits, or year-end roundup obits still come. Last year we've had one, Formula 1 racer Jim Russell. I think, in 2018 we had two, those Aston Villa football players (?). I don't know how many we had in 2016.. but it's usually around 2 or so, IIRC. So we might still run a day ahead or so of 2016 - or not!

Yes, I know I received something from you. But as promised, I will not look into it until I have submitted my own teams for other deadpools.

Alright, I have now finished googling all picks this year to see if there are any hidden hits - and while I saw some previously unknown deaths, none of them got a qualifying obit. So, if you see any other hit - let me know...

Wasn't there some kind of discussion recently about Olympic swimmer at the 1936 Olympic Games Suse Heinze? Well, Wikipedia has her dead since 2018 and this article gives some more details about this: https://olympstats.com/2020/03/ It's probably true. Another wasted DDP pick, but this time REALLY off the radar.

Current DDP pick Dennis Farnon, popular music arranger, already died in 2019, somewhat off the radar, at least off our radar: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/obituary/8517056/dennis-farnon-recording-academy-founder-dead-95

Usually I would say, submit a few days before.. yes, you might miss out on the one late addition, but that one hit matters less in the AO pool than in the DDP, because it's 40 names here, and 20 names there. But then this year, the difference of the top 3 is basically within one name (bar bonus).

Book on Cancel Culture cancelled: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55331063 Because of islamophobia or something. A note to the publishers: You wanted to provoke, and now you got cold feet....sad.

I have two non-obits in the main team, plus one sub... ...but then I think that in such a more time-limited pool, it's better to increase your numbers, and hope that something sticks.

Fantasy author and inspiration for George R R Martin, Phyllis Eisenstein, has died at 74: https://locusmag.com/2020/12/phyllis-eisenstein-1946-2020/

Has this been known before? Former Bishop of Birkenhead Ronald Brown, a DDP pick for the Ronnie Theme Team, already died in 2019: https://chester.anglican.org/news/-funeral-on-friday-for-bishop-ron-who-has-died-aged-92.php

Another List of the Lost-er, thrice picked cancer mum Lynda Bailey already died in January: https://funeral-notices.co.uk/notice/bailey/4809388

DDP pick Benjamin Abeles, a czech physicist, apparently just died aged 95: https://www.idnes.cz/technet/veda/benjamin-abeles-fyzik-raf.A201214_192614_veda_pka This obituary says that his invention was used in the Voyager missions.

Loris Abate, an Italian fashion mogul, businessman, and as far as I can tell, race horse owner, died a couple of weeks ago: https://www.quotidiano.net/sport/addio-a-loris-abate-i-suoi-cavalli-per-i-grandi-campioni-1.5776031 He is a DDP pick for alphabetic theme team Color Me Abbad, but this one misses the target.

Did he receive a QO? I couldn't find it, in the 3 minutes I checked. @ edit: Ooops, msc didn't see it either.

It seems that DDP pick football player Jack Mansell already died in 2016: https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2016/march/jack-mansell-1927--2016/ Picked twice this year.

Social media was supposed to make us happy....but it seems that every supposedly great innovation only causes more depression.

Thanks for the info! The source:

The curse of Home and Away continues as Mick Innes dies of a lung disease at only 67: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/home-and-away-actor-mick-innes-dies-140040993.html

Looks a bit like Walter White, you know, the lung cancer look.

US pop art painter Kendall Shaw, also a DDP pick, died on Octobre 18th in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendall_Shaw https://ogdenmuseum.org/looking-at-kendall-shaws-sunship-for-john-coltrane/ (takes a while to read the second link until it says that he died in his home in Brooklyn)

Ancient American football player Jack Smith, DDP pick, died in 2015 at the age of 97: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Smith_(end)

IMDB.com has friend of Sharon Tate, actor Iain Quarrier dead since 2016, and he supposedly died in Kensington. The english Wikipedia page has followed. But it doesn't seem to be a certainty. He's a DDP pick this year.

The most clever / trolling thought I read was whether they'd have to rename the state of Indiana now.
