In more constructive news, yesterday her personal trainer described her workout routine: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8433407/Ruth-Bader-Ginsburgs-longtime-trainer-details-exercises-shape-age-87.html

Alright, update for three hits: the popular pick Vera Lynn, Ian Holm and surprisingly popular Nanci Ryder. The latter hit means that Banana and RadGuy switch places for indeed another time. Don't forget: the replacement day is in two weeks. Rank Team Points 1 Death Impends 771 2 gcreptile 661 3 RadGuy 626 4 Banana 608 5 Cpt.

Apparently he had Parkinson's: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/11900364/sir-ian-holm-dead-lord-of-rings/

If you are annoyed that you didnt pick Pablo Escobar's chief henchman Jhon Velasquez, why not his right hand Carlos Lehder Rivas (70): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8427781/Hitler-loving-Medellin-cartel-founder-Carlos-Lehder-Rivas-goes-free-Germany.html The Hitler-loving druglord is being extradited to Germany on what is supposed to be "his last trip" because of illness.

He recently revealed two battles with male breast cancer, once in 1992, then in 2013: https://www.survivornet.com/articles/did-you-know-actor-william-shatner-quietly-battled-breast-cancer-for-years-stigma-often-keeps-men-from-speaking-up-about-the-disease/ Otherwise, still fine! Survivornet.com ist more and more become a standard research outfit, isn't it?

Ian Holm is a hit for me here, and puts me one dead Scotsman away from victory.

Ah, sad.... yes, not unexpected. I also picked him here and there. The death order of Alien is now broken...

If they really want to go for age.. maybe John Cruickshank? Benjamin Ferencz also a possibility. Pierre Soulages probably too niche? James Lovelock is possible, maaaybe Lawrence Ferlinghetti. or why not.... Steven Spielberg's father.. you know it's possible.

Silver medal for The Old Crem with Vera Lynn.

Notable Amazon tribe leader Paulinho Paiakan dies of the virus, probably indicating that it has gotten into even the most remote corners of the planet: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-53087933

Benedict visits his brother Georg who has fallen ill in a very much "saying goodbye" kind of way: https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/papst-benedikt-xvi-nach-deutschland-gereist-besuch-beim-kranken-bruder-a-7b2adc6c-3c4b-4c36-b8b1-6b49fa8352b8

I can score and Drop40 update this evening.

Tom Smith again

I always forget who I picked here, and have to go back and check every time.

Congratulations Toast! And thanks for releasing us.

African-American MOVE activist Delbert Africa dead at 73 after 41 years in prison: https://www.inquirer.com/news/delbert-africa-move-member-dead-20200616.html

Sandinista revolutionary turned traitor Edén "Commander Zero" Pastora dead at 83: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/world/americas/eden-pastora-commander-zero-in-nicaragua-dies-at-83.html

Brett Hutchinson. He was the one actually picked? I was unaware of this person's illness until January 2020.

4th day of my holiday. Still nothing to update I see...

The Boris Johnson government is broken and losing faith: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-12/coronavirus-uk-boris-johnson-s-team-is-broken-and-losing-faith Couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Did you hear that he is now asking for EU workers to come back to help rebuild the economy? https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/boris-johnson-wants-eu-workers-to-return-ahead-of-brexit-1-6684193 And this week, they also indirectly admitted that the lower food standards (e.g. chlorinated chicken) are coming through the US/UK trade deal: https://london.eater.com/2020/6/5/21281356/chlorinated-chicken-uk-us-trade-deal-trump-johnson Johnson, just like Trump and Bolsonaro are kind of getting what they deserve. Too bad they are pulling so many people down with them.

Ha! The Guardian editorial board has taken over the UK media.

He says he's cancer-free: https://politicalwire.com/2020/06/11/harry-reid-says-hes-cancer-free/

Yeah, another aspect of the coronavirus are all those deaths caused by the general turmoil it caused throughout the healthcare systems. In a couple of years we might realize that the "real" deathtoll was in the millions. And we might see a wave of late-cancer cases next year because of these critical months.

The carousel keeps turning... Spanish actress Rosa Maria Sarda is a hit for me: https://elpais.com/cultura/2020-06-11/muere-la-actriz-rosa-maria-sarda-a-los-78-anos.html I could use a daily double... she was one of my best differential picks.

His health is now very, very serious but the doctors just don't care: https://balkaninsight.com/2020/06/10/un-court-urged-to-hospitalise-ratko-mladic-in-the-hague/
