Why is Boy George still alive? He's got to be the next one.

Dead George Michael, Innit Peeps
gcreptile replied to harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy's topic in DeathList Forum
I think the wording doesn't rule out a sleeping pill overdose. The alternative is him dying heavily sedated in the end-stage of a terminal disease. I'd rule out a heart attack. -
Dead George Michael, Innit Peeps
gcreptile replied to harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy's topic in DeathList Forum
The year ends as it begins, lethal. I was a fan of his. Less than I was a fan of Bowie, more than I was a fan of Prince. His career was more or less over. He admitted as much when he said that there is no more space in music for intelligent pop music (said about 10 years ago). And he could never recover personally from that loss of relevance. I think the truth about his death will drip out like it did with Prince. -
BBC says he passed away peacefully, that's what his people say, but, come on, he wanted to die the year Bowie and Prince died. "No further comments", sure...

Oh Lord, suicide at Christmas? (His Last Christmas)

She went by helicopter, virtually unheard of as they always take the train.She will have a place that's preferable for her to die, her father died at Sandringham. She is 90, she has a 'heavy cold' she has decided to relinquish her many many patron roles. Phil will possibly out live her. Yes, I think the odds of that are increasing. If he was her age, there wouldn't be much doubt.

He's a member of my Generation Game team - and yet, I'm not entirely sure I'll pick him in the DDP.

The Drop 40 needs new blood... The Piers Sellers/Carrie Fisher timing was fitting. I think she'll be on it.

The Deathrace is also unique because you can sort-of avoid the hard decisions. You can win with five quick hits (incl. joker). So you can gamble a little: five 50:50 heart attack/stroke cases, five simply old and frail people, five terminal cancer people and five... whatever...
-
Piers Sellers a hit for me and ... everyone else?
-
Mother is unwell. What have you heard? Ah, I think Carrie's death would kill her mother as well, within a couple of weeks. It would be terribly tragic.
-
Hm, not ... yet... Also, fuck you 2016 again. Her mother...
-
Hm, I somewhat expected it. It was too silent.
-
Indeed, I would prohibit these picks. There are six planned executions in the US in January. One could win with them alone.

So, How's Your 2017 Shortlist Looking?
gcreptile replied to msc's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Strangely enough, I found a name today that ticks pretty much all those boxes, right down to being somewhat old news (except they aren't a musician). Might bring them into my team. A one-hit-actor? I was a little disappointed to find out that Bud Cort (Harold and Maude's Harold) is neither particularly old nor particularly unwell. He's a future Deathlist mascot. -

The Deathlist Christmas Special!

That's f ucking tragic. Oh yes, and you don't even know the rest. On the positive (?) side, my memory is like a sponge and doesn't easily forget. -

Deathrace, Hare's and Shaun's Death By Numbers drafts are ready. I am a little sad that Shaun's Deadpool is not that giant anymore. Now it basically becomes my "best of" of my 3 DDP teams. The HPDP is still unfinished. Anything else I'm forgetting? I've kind of lost track. -
The Deathlist Christmas Special!
gcreptile replied to Lady Die's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
A premature Merry Christmas from me as I am leaving tomorrow to visit the family. I still remember waking up in the same situation last year, checking the forum and being still half-asleep and half-confused, wondering why Spade Cooley is now winning the DDP after all. -
After the last relapse, he checked himself into rehab. Now he is ok, turns into Jon Voight and has a message to support cancer kid Bradley Lowery: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2428458/paul-gascoigne-christmas-video-message/

I just found out he has a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/GeorgeHWBush

People Who Are Dead According To Wikipedia...

I like how this is turning into a scientific endeavour... -
I'm praying. That he and Mel Tillis make the starting gate, dragging Willie Nelson with em SC There is a theme team in there somewhere, add Glen Campbell.

Goddamnit, I found a name pretty likely to obit (but you never know with one-hit wonders, especially because s/he was just a member of the band), pretty likely to die, but just a little old. I have no space anymore, but might make some if s/he is a unique hit. But I'm only 75% sure s/he's unique, gaaaahhhh.... And why didn't I find that name when the news was fresh, a couple of months ago? -
