    Celebrity Auctioneers

    This thread periodically has lots of guests, maybe it's a certain phrase in here? "Bargain Hunt", or maybe "mutual gropes"? Or maybe "kiddie "porn""?

    World's Oldest

    The Chands celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary yesterday: http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/11/worlds-oldest-married-couple-aged-110-and-103-celebrate-their-90th-wedding-anniversary-5558009/

    Cage Fighters

    I saw that, too, but wasn't exactly sure if it belongs here. (Now that I've looked at the sub-header, I know it did!). Anyway, dehydration and heat stroke... his weight was too high so he tried to sweat it out. I once saw a documentary about amateur boxers and their tricks, like stepping into the bathtub with a towel around your stomach and in a rubber suit, and then staying in there for six hours. You rapidly lose weight this way, but you also end up looking really, really sick. He obviously overdid it...

    Dead Pop Stars

    Rainer Bloss, german ambient musician most notable for some collaborations with Klaus Schulze, has died at 69: http://www.alphaville.info/rainer-bloss/ Curiously, this means that two of the three creators of the "involuntarily funny" album Aphrica have died just 31 days apart, with Ernst Fuchs having died in November (with Telegraph obit). Will Klaus Schulze be next?

    Princeton Professor and prominent figure of movement conservatism Robert George hospitalized with a potentially life-threating tear in the aorta: http://www.religionnews.com/2015/12/10/robert-george-professor-conservative-culture-warrior-hospitalized-serious-heart-problem/

    Hunger Strikers

    Raif Badawi, the Saudi blogger sentenced to 1000 whips to be delivered in 20x50 portions, is now also on hunger strike: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/10/jailed-saudi-blogger-raif-badawi-on-hunger-strike I guess that's quite an obstacle course his life will have to master in 2016.

    DDP Team Name Rejects

    Silly idea, but... "Angels in life and in death": Angela Lansbury, Angelica Houston, Angelina Jolie and....René Angelil...

    Vanessa Redgrave

    I think she's on a 2-5 years schedule... Also, her brother even had her own thread, and you are right: http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1506&hl=%2Bcorin+%2Bredgrave Part of the reason I made this thread was because after Corin, Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson, I thought no member of that family should go unthreaded.

    Magic Johnson, And Other Basketball Players

    Well, when it comes to Basketball I can never tell which death is important and which one isn't. After all, Andrew Smith could be the Lauren Hill of 2016, but... no coverage in the UK at all.

    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    Even better than the Christy Dignam/Sinead O'Connor combo: Fugitive mexican drug lord El Chapo promises to destroy ISIS, now that they have destroyed one of his drug shipments in the Middle East: http://nypost.com/2015/12/10/el-chapo-tells-isis-his-men-will-destroy-them/

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    All in one person? Aren't categories 1 and 3 one and the same? And isn't every Irish person also a bit of a folk musician? I guess the best guess for all of this is Bono.

    Jamaican Jamming

    Ah! I saw this one, had made a mental note of it (so shortly after Ninja Man). I thought she was on the mend...ah well... I'm very interested in her obit reach now (in case she's representative of Dancehall in general). To tie this up, J Capri obits thanks to Raheem Sterling: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/raheem-sterling-dedicates-two-goal-6981800 Edit: Also, booo, for kicking out my team...

    An interview with Timothy West on the condition of Prunella Scales: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/timothy-west-wife-prunella-scales-6985623 It's not Alzheimer's but a "related kind of dementia"...could it be... Lewy Body dementia?

    Opera

    Mattiwilda Dobbs, first African-American woman to sing at La Scala and generally one of the first prominent black opera singers, has died at 90: http://slippedisc.com/2015/12/death-of-a-path-breaking-american-soprano/ At one point, she was also the arranged bride for Martin Luther King, hmm....

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2016

    Given rumours I've heard in the past and probably you have too, are you thinking what I'm thinking? My first idea was drug-related organ failure. I hadn't heard of these rumours, but that's another possibility. I guess in that case, money might make a big difference.

    How time flies. The collission happened October 11th, 2013, according to the article you linked to. Oops, the 2004 came from the Maserati, I fixed it....
