Heavyweight boxers tend to die early. Yet, I think he's not a good pick. The cancer won't kill him quickly, it would have to be a combination of factors.

Yeah, politically she should last a little longer, no doubt though, that she should be on the list from now on until she dies.

Tumours everywhere, pretty sure hit. Is he famous enough though? Still, a great pick.

Fantastic addition.

The committee loves these old New York, and dare I say it, jewish comedians. (me too, by the way) But Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, they'll all go together when they go.

Ahem, I was the first to post about Mr. Gates' Alzheimer's, and I was the one who opened the Ginger Baker thread.

Mr. and Mrs. P-Orridge, the one half of it, which I guess, is then a quarter Mr. and a quarter Mrs.

First impression: decidedly mixed. Some great additions, some puzzling removals. Bill Gates' father... okay, as a DDP pick yes, but on the list? Well, we'll see. It's not bad, but I think in the end, the hit count will be 1-2 below the potential.

Well done with addition. Statistically, it's his turn this year. And the people close to him imply that the illness is right on time.

I think we do again have some mix-ups between gc and gr again.

2019 almost-wrap-up: "Hall of Fame Bullfighter" Wick Peth died on the 27th at 87: http://www.prorodeo.com/news-notes-archive/2019/12/31/hall-of-fame-bullfighter-wick-peth-passes-away Former english national rugby player at Gloucester George Hastings, dead at 95: https://www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk/2019/12/31/former-gloucester-rugby-player-george-hastings-passes-away-aged-95/

Happy New Year, ThePrematureBurial, you may also pick a joker for twice the points!

Well then, as Australia and New Zealand are entering 2020, happy new year to you, and everyone else!

12 hours left to enter. 26 entrants in so far. Will we match last year's 30? The new submission format and my new Excel table work great. Thank you for making it easy.

Thumbs up for Michael Verhoeven! I once saw him personally because he owned the cinema down the street. He has sold it and his other cinema though.

Syd Mead, the legendary set designer of Blade Runner, Aliens and Tron, has died at 86: https://ca.ign.com/articles/2019/12/30/syd-mead-artist-behind-blade-runner-dies-tron-aliens-star-trek (I'm sad... on the other hand... I thought he was dead already..)

Sad, quite the original. But he had a spell of (very) ill health years ago already.

@Etushispushingupdaisies Sure. No problem with this team. I assume your Quincy Jones is the legendary producer, not the minor comedian who was an issue here about 4 years ago..

The sub will be added. But as I already said a couple of days ago, you can't just swap out a name because new names become available, sorry! You could name him as a sub, and hope that two other people on your team die today or tomorrow.

Okay, is this the final update? We will soon be entering the "netherzone". QOs for 2019 deaths will be accepted for one more week. So 2019 is almost over, but there might still be some points to be made. As for now, well, only Martin Peters and Frederick P. Dent are new hits.

Otherwise the next update will be the final scoreboard and the announcement of the winner! (Also I'll delete all PMs relating to 2019 soon, so no more opportunity to complain!)

Allright folks, I have submitted all my teams: - DDP teams 1,2,3 - Deathrace - Death By Numbers (duh) - Hare's Deadpool - Alt Obits (all accepted now) - Guess the Committee / Crowdsourced - Hartlepool Deadlypool I will now start with the Excel table, and the masterlist for this year, beginning with the publicly posted teams. I hope to get as much work as possible done with this pool,before the DDP work starts.

Okay, team is in. First round was 10 rejections. Second round went through. Still a little of that "How did that person get through... and why did that person get rejected" but I am okay with it. Good luck everyone!

Team submitted, a couple of people are actually well-known. Good luck everyone!

Former german cabinet member and president of Brandenburg Manfred Stolpe is dead: https://m.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/manfred-stolpe-frueher-ministerpraesident-brandenburgs-gestorben-a-1303131.html I think he's a DDP pick.

Well... duh: https://m.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/manfred-stolpe-frueher-ministerpraesident-brandenburgs-gestorben-a-1303131.html
