So my Aces are Ami Brown, Glen Campbell and Colin Meads. I like it!

Congratulations, Deadsox! Well done! Thank you msc for hosting. A welcome addition to the ...deadpooling circuit.

Connie Johnson's cancer battle is "nearing the end" says her brother: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4653380/Samuel-Johnson-tribute-sister-Connie-cancer-treatment.html

Press F5. Sometimes the cache still has the older version in store.

I'm already regretting not picking Muhammadu Buhari. He's still a bit of a punt, but maybe less of a punt than some others...

Edit: Well, let me mail it...

Team sent, good luck everyone!

They would have confirmed it but then their press guy died.

Someone obviously had to pick him so that these jokes could be made...

Hmm, obit punt #1. Let's see what a search of his mention in the British press comes up with. Ah yes, his doctor once bit his secretary in the arm: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/12024820/World-renowned-surgeon-charged-with-biting-secretary.html

By the way, the obits mention the use of the song in the recent US congressional vote to undo Obamacare. That's what my previous update on De Carlo mentioned as well. I'm not sure De Carlo would have obited without that.

You're right! Damn, then it needs to be Kevin Murray, who needs another obit miracle. Come on, Mirror, you can do it!

Well, he's gotta die at some point. And he has already lived about 50 years longer than you'd expect from a boxer/stand-up comedian.

Haha!!!!! Edit: My B-Team needs another hit to beat TJS in the "player of the month" statistic. It's 4 points behind. Come on Smith Hart, you can do it!

Did the diagnosis change from pancreatic cancer to bile-duct cancer? The latter is only slightly less lethal in any case.

Dave Rosser was last mentioned by the Guardian last month, including cancer fight. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/may/04/the-afghan-whigs-in-spades-album-review-soulful-alt-rock The probability of an indirect obit might slightly be above 50%, I'd say (You know, concert review, "band gave tribute to their member who lost the battle against cancer" But yes, interesting to see if Indie favourites get the QO by default. I got burned by not picking Thomas Fekete last year. I don't want to make the mistake for the next candidate in line.

Well, no doubt about the obligatory Daily Mail/AP copy/paste: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4645604/MLB-pitcher-lost-record-27-row-dies-51.html Too bad he didn't last until July.

Yep

No way! Liked him very much. Was also in John Wick.

Bella Hadid's grandmother battles an unspecified cancer, apparently not the first time: http://www.teenvogue.com/story/bella-hadid-surprises-grandmother-holland Pretty much irrelevant within the flow of history but the sob stories will come.
