    Haha, well, that depends on who's watching - and why.

    Kirk Douglas

    Well, at that age, he might consider it an affair, while she thinks of it as senility.

    Only Famous For Being Ill And Dying

    Gareth Dunn, blogger of "chemotionally unstable" and Death By Numbers pick for me last year, already dead since October 2018 - but at least he made it through the replacement period so it was technically correct: https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/health/10k-run-to-celebrate-life-of-inspirational-leeds-man-who-raised-100-000-before-cancer-death-aged-27-1-9662648

    Thank you! Well, it was an 11-day wait, not a 10-day one.

    Shadow Lists

    I forgot to make a shadow list this year. My crowdsourced list submission has at least 2 though, Diana Athill and Lyndon LaRouche.

    Death By Numbers 2019

    Next update: The new hits, as far as I am aware: Mike Willesee, Manohar Parrikar, Edmund Capon, Samantha McConnell Hmm, that's actually less than I thought. If I see it correctly, nobody picked Dick Dale, nor Angus Sinclair, nor Jan-Michael Vincent, etc... However, Bernice McCabe got her belated obit. As such, the result is this: Rank Team name Points 1 GCReptile 628 2 Phantom of the Midway 624 3 Cpt Chorizo 574 4 Devon Death Trip 573 5 Joey Russ 558 6 Clorox Bleachman 548 7 Sir Creep 478 8 drol 477 9 msc 464 10 Death Impends 461 11 Banana 446 12 Skinny Kiltrunner 412 13 Grim Up North 289 14 YoungWillz 268 15 Book 129 16 Yorkshire Banker 124 17 Fixed Business 84 18 Prophet 83 19 markb4 81 20 Deathray 73 20 Gooseberry Crumble 73 20 John Key 73 23 Grave Danger 56 24 theoldlady 49 24 The mad hatter 49 26 The old crem 35 27 Bibliogryphon 0 27 The Unknown Man 0 27 The Quim Reaper 0 27 Pedro 67 0 Ahem, yes I am leading after three hits in this update. However, I previously said that I will not use the replacement period. So I am not going to lead after July. Feel free to point out any mistakes or omissions! Especially those UK-centric celebrities I tend to miss. Edit: Baroness Warnock for the next update

    Bernie Tormé dead: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bernie-torme-dies/ Hit for ...Banana? Edit: Hit for four people actually. Two matches now tied, Joey-Banana unchanged, as Banana marches towards a record.

    This is going to be my best cup result ever, I think.

    Political Frailty

    As a sitting officeholder, he might even QO for the DDP. I'm bracing for the collective "d'oh".

    I guess if they're really bored they'll have the Michael Gielen obit soon.

    Political Frailty

    As one of the very first names on my longlist, he was often on my mind and I repeatedly googled him without much of a result. Still, almost a nostalgic death. RIP. (Poker Pool pick last year for me)
