Sepp Haidacher, coach of the "Cool Runnings" Jamaican bobsleigh team, has died: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1082035/cool-runnings-coach-dies-at-age-of-78 His role was, somewhat inadequately, portrayed by John Candy in the movie.

Pure talent

Two DeathList alumni in a memorable video:

Took a while but here is Sutopo's BBC obit: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48932761

John Tatum, a wrestler known as Hollywood, had several heart attack recently: https://wrestlingnews.co/other/former-wccw-gwf-star-hollywood-john-tatum-suffers-multiple-heart-attacks-family-asking-for-prayers/

Someone recorded me during a normal day at the office:

Ominous tightening at the top.

Quite the opposite of a deathless day, but July 9th sets a new record for me in that 5 people on my longlist have died that day (Sleggs, De La Rua, Jones, Perot, Torn)

Other sources say that it's a kidney stone.

MP Geoffrey Robinson does not seek re-election because of unspecified health problems: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-48915258

I don't know... maybe I should try an "experimental" ABC deadpool team. Fewer cancer folks, more heart attack/stroke people like De La Rua or Kadenge. I believe we are in an age when more and more cancer cases become manageable.

To my disappointment, my pick Maria Falzone never even managed to get an obit - until now. But I'm not even sure THAT would have counted: https://chelsearecord.com/2019/06/29/obituaries-06-27-2019/ She actually died on her birthday.

Okay, I shouldn't care at all, with me not being an American and all but I think I'd like to see a Warren/Castro ticket. Though I am not sure if that would be a hit, or a new Mondale/Ferraro. Buttigieg for a cabinet post. Sanders - I don't know... his time is over, his vision too narrow. Something I cannot explain turns me away from him. Harris will be hard to beat in the primary, if she succeeds at building a moderate/African-American alliance. She's very Clintonite though.

Congratulations Rad! Well deserved, quite the gap. I guess I have to raise my game next time. That was quite the failure.

Paul McCartney once asked "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?" Well, Heather said no.

LGBT activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy had a stroke 3 days ago: https://www.out.com/news/2019/7/06/trans-activist-miss-major-hospitalized-after-suffering-stroke A trans black activist from the Stonewall days, so surprisingly obitable.

Well, I'm glad they found the time - DURING the women's world cup finals. In normal circumstances, any football "legend" gets the QO though.

Three people gored during the 1st bull run in Pamplona: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48901684 The last fatality was in 2009. Is it time?

I'm sure lots of people are wondering endlessely about what happened to last year's DDP pick Lynda Spargo. She died in May this year: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/wonderful-way-pupils-pay-tribute-2943469

Certainly not Trump: https://www.haaretz.com/amp/us-news/trump-praised-terrific-guy-epstein-who-likes-women-on-the-younger-side-1.7453257 Also, the current Labor secretary is responsible for letting Epstein go the first time. But this isn't a partisan issue. Sex trafficking rings are bipartisan - and transatlantic.

He's 69 now. Just saying. Didn't he have a pretty bad spell of drug addiction? Right now it's exactly the danger zone of failing health.
