Not going to go into much detail here. Thanks everyone for kind words. Xx Kristoffer Travis ‏@RealKrisTravis 32m32 minutes ago I'm going to put this out there right now..... I won't ever be wrestling ever again. Gutted yes. But I have to accept this. Lots of love. X Any guesses? Can you go from remission to recurrence to death that quickly at 31? Hmm, according to tweets from his friends/fans, the cancer has really come back. But he's having a holiday in Iceland right now.

    Not Really Famous, But What A Moniker!

    Santa Claus has two types of unspecified cancer: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/15/santa-claus-north-pole-alasak-politician-medical-marijuana He treats it with medical marijuana. His name could actually get him a british obit.

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    The one that annoys me the most is Liz Smith the english tv actress, and Liz Smith the american gossip lady. In fact, I believe the latter lady would be the better Deathlist pick, especially if the Deathlist wants to compensate for the missed death of Joan Rivers.

    Conspiracy Theories

    Does Beyoncé's father accidentally reveal that she is older than she pretends to be? http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/beyonces-father-matthew-knowles-hints-6669975 That is not a new theory, by the way. An extended version of it is that Solange Knowles is not Beyoncé's sister, but her daughter from a teenage pregnancy. And Beyoncé totally faked her pregnancy (she had a surrogate).

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    Is this a valid obit for Danièle Delorme? https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/video/lactrice-dani%C3%A8le-delorme-est-d%C3%A9c%C3%A9d%C3%A9e-184500490.html For some reason the obit is on yahoo uk sports, and in french, and a video. Edit: I mean, Yahoo UK sports definitely qualifies, but it's probably some mistake and it wasn't supposed to land there.

    Astronauts

    George Mueller, "father of the Space Shuttle" in his function as the leader of the NASA human spaceflight program in the 60s has died at 97: http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/editorial/george-mueller-father-of-the-space-shuttle-passes-away/ The search function leads me to believe that someone on Hare's Deathpool picked him.

    Newcomer To DDP

    What is up with this hostility? I am just a new player who wants to participate in a game. There are plenty of new teams in DDP every year. Were you never a new player? Don't worry about it. It's an internet forum, some people simply like to complain (about things they are guilty of themselves), or just want to annoy you in a sort of ironic-hipster way.

    Conspiracy Theories

    I wish these conspiracy nuts would focus their efforts on the real conspiracies, like the pedophile circle of the british élite, or the so-called free trade agreements that have popped up all over the place even though the voters have never declared their interest in something like this. My personal conspiracy theory: Some conspiracy theories are being created to deflect attention from the real conspiracies.

    Harper Lee

    No link too tenuous for inclusion on DL forums! SC Perhaps we could have a thread named Widower Shopping on the Fringes of Fame? Hey, it's a DDP-qualifying obit. I wonder why nobody picked him.....

    Journalists

    Former BBC journalist and Iraq expert Jackie Sutton found dead at Istanbul airport: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/oct/19/british-journalist-jacky-sutton-found-dead-in-istanbul-airport Her predecessor at her latest function as Iraq expert for the Institute of War and Peace Reporting died of an unnatural death, so it's looking a bit suspicious.

    Newcomer To DDP

    I'm currently in my first DDP year, so my answers are a bit newcomer-y as well, I guess. 1. I guess so - don't forget to name a joker, and substitutes. I also mentioned the name I have on this forum. So the host knows who I am. 2. I guess so, though I don't know what purpose that would serve. I saw a team with just 19 participants in the competition. Maybe because someone shortly died before or because a theme team didn't have 20 viable suggestions, or something like that. 3. You can create up to three teams. All three of them can be theme teams, or none of them can be, doesn't matter. 4. You can do that. This year, some people seized on the critical condition of country singer Little Jimmy Dickens, though it was a matter of days, not hours. 5. I guess the "real" time is the one in Great Britain. So it depends on the time of death in Great Britain. 6. Yes, as long as the obit is valid, every person counts - except for those sentenced to die, either through traditional state justice, or terrorist justice, or the schedule of a euthanasia clinic.
