    Shaun`s Death By Numbers

    My pick Suvra Mukherjee, first lady of India, is dead... looking for an obit, will edit this post if i find it. She was born in 1940. Edit: Hmm, does this count? https://in.news.yahoo.com/president-pranab-mukherjee-s-wife-suvra-passes-away-063817819.html Or maybe this: https://screen.yahoo.com/president-pranab-mukherjees-wife-suvra-062500542.html I didn't know there were so many yahoo-pages... Editedit: There's also a latino-fox news obit, but not a fox news obit, hmm.... http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2015/08/18/suvra-mukherjee-india-first-lady-dies-at-74/

    Time Added

    Former president of the German Football Association (DFB) and president of the VfB Stuttgart, Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder is dead at 82: http://archyes.com/ex-dfb-president-gerhard-mayer-vorfelder-is-dead/ He was also a regional politician of the conservative party whose national ambitions were probably canalised into football once he couldn't rise in that field any more.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    February 13th, 2016. (I had a revelation yesterday that it would be the 12th, but that day was already taken). I also predict that it will be the third hit for the Deathlist that year, after Howard Marks and a surprise death.

    I saw someone chose Egidius Braun for Shaun's new game, so thank you for the trust, but.... the other, younger guy with the sunburnt face indicative of alcholism, Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder is dead, at 82: http://archyes.com/ex-dfb-president-gerhard-mayer-vorfelder-is-dead/(quick link in english, better ones to come)

    Dance

    Now be a good reptile next time and attach said video. :-)I'm off to find it and see who this stiff is. SC (Edit: he went from a dancer to portraying a transsexual? A stunning transformation!) Your wish is my command:

    Dance

    Ah, finally a qualifying obit for Kylie Minogue's "Locomotion" background dancer Mitch Bartlett: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3198765/Kylie-Minogue-posts-heartfelt-message-Locomotion-backing-dancer-close-friend-Mitch-Bartlett-tragically-passes-away.html He also played transsexual prostitute Wanda in the TV series "Underbelly".

    So, did they break Sunny Van Bülow's record of 28 years in a permanent vegetative state?

    Floyd Mayweather says that his decision to retire was also triggered by the deteriorating health of his uncle and former trainer, Roger Mayweather, also a former boxing world champion: http://www.badlefthook.com/2015/8/14/9153105/mayweather-rogers-deteriorating-health-has-influenced-my-decision-to

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    If you're already updating... George Cole gives 5 pts not 7, as on the front page. But it's correct in the scoreboard!

    Law And Order

    Copyright troll lawyer Paul Duffy is dead at 55, reasons not yet declared: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/08/prenda-linked-copyright-trolling-lawyer-paul-duffy-dead-at-age-55/ He was a lawyer for the multimillion dollar company Prenda, which shamed porn downloaders into lawsuits and then trusted in their desire to settle instead of enduring the embarrassing lawsuit. Eventually, the company's business fell apart among its own legal problems. Hmm, now I know where the German copyright trolls with the exact same "business plan" got their ideas from...

    For deathpooling reasons, let's hope Mr. Connery reads this.

    Which Names Would You Drop?

    Vice President of Lstar Capital. Not sure he's quite famous enough for DL purposes though. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bmseville He looks good for his age. Err, whatever age that is. Ah, we've found the new mascot!

    Hmm, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's... maybe he actually has Dementia with Lewy bodies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia_with_Lewy_bodies

    Greville Janner

    Fails to appear in court: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/aug/14/lord-janner-to-appear-in-court-over-child-sex-abuse-charges The barrister says bringing him here would have a catastrophic impact on his health.

    I don't know him, but Wikipedia says triple bypass surgery in May. Not a bad idea.

    Saddam Hussein

    Probably both names are correct. Al-Takriti is the clan name, which Saddam Hussein (abd al-Majid al-Tikriti) also belonged to. Al-Hassan is some descended family, or maybe the father's name was Hassan.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    At first I read that as "(...) I have decided to refuse to spend any more time with my family and friends and so I refuse any further treatment." Oh sweepstakes, hmm, I'd first like to hear what Carter says next week.

    Britney Spears, Kerry Katona, Heather Locklear et al.

    Hehe, I already promised to reduce the amount of fatty stories I would post. At the same time, I also promised myself to stop paying attention to Kerry Katona, unless it's REALLY important. I think I was... enabling her.

    Nigel Kneale & Judith Kerr

    Huh? Judith's published lots of books since then. On a read of that article, its "first illustrated book" since 1978, and even then, I guess they don't count Mog. Yes, it's not really on a level with Harper Lee in terms of reclusiveness. I wonder if anything can be deduced from releasing a novel, i.e. not being able to illustrate anymore or something like that. Edit: Also thanks for moving the post. I saw that noone picked her in DDP and then considered her too much of an insider's name to have her own thread...

    Nigel Kneale & Judith Kerr

    Judith Kerr releases her first new novel in 37 years: http://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2015/aug/13/judith-kerr-announces-first-novel-in-37-years-mister-cleghorns-seal Maybe she's a little jealous of Harper Lee... and while Kerr is mentally healthier than Lee, she's also a couple of years older.
