DDT is the Steve Davis to Spade Cooley's Stephen Hendry.

Did she actually die from the cancer that was supposed to be killing her, or from the strokes she had?

That tumour is growing pretty fast for a "benign" tumour. Definitely dead this year.

For some reason, the brother and sister of Catherine Nevin's husband and victim, are trying to prevent her from inheriting his estate. Maybe she's not that ill after all? A riddle.... http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/high-court/catherine-nevin-murder-conviction-ruled-admissible-in-disinheritance-case-1.3001093 Edit: Or maybe they're trying to get her inheritance back retroactively...

His rather small Wikipedia page also says he died in 2013? Edit: Probably some forum error...

Shameless will have a hard time defending its title this year, I think.

I almost picked him for the Cup. I think he'll die this year, rather sooner than later.

Interesting, though he always exaggerates. There's a "related" news article that says that he wants a job in the Trump administration.

I was a bit surprised that nobody else picked him. I did not pick Lisa Magill because that 1 point wasn't worth the risk. Maybe the being terminal illness celebrities should get no unique bonus.

Comments suggest that Chase Simmons has died, but will there be a local obit?? https://www.gofundme.com/BigDreamsChase

Ah, slightly surprising because her most recent blog entry was still very feisty. Now she probably has 2-3 weeks left.

Wishing all the best...
