    A new National Enquirer post about her. Again, can't read it cause I live in Yoorup.

     

    Here's what the article says

     

    TV legend MARY TYLER MOORE spends her sad last days in the grip of dementia, her few lucid moments are spent deciding on her resting place – while being reminded of the tragic deaths of her loved ones!
    “With most of her affairs now in order, Mary is left with making the gut-wrenching and difficult decision of whether to be buried or cremated,” a family insider told The National ENQUIRER.
    But the source also revealed the heartbreak behind that decision, as the beloved star, 78, ponders being buried alongside her kid sister, who died of a drug overdose – or joining her only son and her younger brother in having her ashes scattered.
    Mary is wrestling with these decisions with husband Dr. Robert Levine as she lives out her remaining days at their $10 million estate in Greenwich, Conn.
    The dying star is considering cremation as a tribute to her son, Richie, who died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1980 when he was 24.
    “Mary says how wonderful it would be to be free as a bird, her ashes blowing in the same clear air where Richie’s were scattered” over the Owens River in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., the source revealed.
    Richie passed away just two years after Mary’s sister, Elizabeth Ann, died from a drug overdose. And Mary’s world was rocked again when her brother, John Hackett Moore, who worked as a prop man at MTM Studios, died from kidney cancer in 1991, with his body cremated.
    Meanwhile, Mary’s parents and sister are interred at San Fernando Mission Cemetery in California.
    “Right now, Mary’s leaning toward cremation,” said the friend.
    “The thought of her ashes intermingling with Richie’s lit up Mary’s face, spreading that famous smile from cheek to cheek.”

     

    Again the "sad last days".... last year there was an article about Valerie Harper with the same phrase (I can only see it by Google-newsing "valerie harper sad last days national enquirer"). As long as she can still decide how to die, she can't be at death's door (Wouldn't her guts be burned or buried instead of wrenched?). Also, how can Mary's world be rocked "again" by the death of her brother, when that death occured 24 years ago?

    According to this this article about the treasonous letter sent by 47 US Republican senators, Iranian leader Ali Khamenei (75) is ailing. Could be a major miss for the current top 50. Also debatable is he is clergy or political.

    Think he has his own thread. Also think I read somewhere they released pics or a video of him alive and well and receiving dignitaries the very next day. The Castro Mystique Effect I'm calling it.

     

    Indeed, also, the Castro Mystique Effect usually befalls regimes the USA doesn't like (Iran, Cuba, North Korea).

    You got it. You have to start asking now what concrete info is available to support the premise that she is still alive. When did we last see her shipped back and forth to the hospital? One year, about 3 years ago it was every other week. Can't think that since the leg off opperation we have ever had any of these mercy trips.

    It's possible Zsa Zsa is dead as like i said in my previous post i wouldn't put anything past Von Anhalt but i do think she is still being kept alive as in December Francesca just before her own death released a photo of her with Zsa Zsa to radar online and also haven't the courts said the "Prince" and Zsa Zsa can live in there house until she dies. Most crucially the real Owners of the house who inherit it once Zsa Zsa dies pay the "Prince" about £300,000 a year to look after her surely they will get some sort of proof she is still alive as surely they wouldn't pay someone all that money every year unless they knew for certain that she was still with us.

     

    You're right, she must have been alive while her daughter was alive. "Prince" von Anhalt couldn't stop Francesca from seeing her mother. Though now the "prince" can do whatever he wants with her.

    I've watched quite a few of them. I think they're funny, but I find it hard to believe there are some people on this planet that are as thick as Homer.

    Homer got progressively dumber with each season, though I have to admit that I stopped watching it around season 12/13. Yes, even though I am/was a Simpsons fan, there are now more episodes I haven't watched than those that I watched. At the beginning, the series had a "humanitarian" spirit which was probably Sam's influence. It got more cynical after he left, and from the little I've seen, the humour got crasser in the later series, similar to South Park or Family Guy.

    I'm pretty sure she died months ago but Von Anhalt was too busy being an asshole to even realize it.

    Nah, she is alive, Von Anhalt would milk her passing to death, probably he'd have a special press conference like he did for her 98th Birthday and he would be all over the TV on talk shows etc.

     

    I don't know about Californian law, but maybe he isn't even in her will? Apparently, she is "living" upstairs and only "Prince" von Anhalt and her nurses visit her. The ground floor of the house is regularly used for TV and movie productions (for example, Behind the Candelabra, the Liberace movie). Without the house, "Prince" von Anhalt has nothing. He'd get kicked out of Hollywood and would be forced to stop pretending to be something more than a german former sauna manager. ZsaZsa's death would make news, yes, but that might be the last time for him making US news.

    I'm really disappointed in my results here, they amount to nothing. I treated the Deathrace with the second-highest priority, and put some favorites of a potential DDP team in here. Yet, all those low-hanging fruits like ZsaZsa, Sir Winton or Abdelaziz Bouteflika are still alive or even doing better. But then I didn't want to use the same people in different races.

    I could imagine that, too.

     

    Or she's a ghoul who feeds on the life energies of the people around her.

    RIP Sam Simon, we will miss you hard, you were like a mascott for us deathlister.

     

    on a side note, sad he couldn't wait 4 more days to pass away (would have made an unlucky 13th bonus)

     

    warm condolences to its family

    SInce everyone and their dog chose Sam, I hoped he would last at least until his 60th birthday. I didn't make him my joker, but those that did now receive more bonus points than otherwise. I still wouldn't rule out assisted suicide though. The people around him seemed to know it was over. But yes, he might also have fallen in a coma without return. We are probably not going to know.

    RIP Sam. As someone who likes to ignore his own mortality and who avoids thinking seriously about illnesses (as opposed to the snarky way on this forum), Sam's reports on his cancer were a last service to me.

    And thank you for the animals and the Simpsons.

    Lingering death of UK hopes announced.

    Well I see it has already received some rave reviews in the British press.

     

    Surveying all the incredible musical talent in this nation, an anonymous BBC committee have decided that our representatives at Europes premiere televisual musical contest should be a trumped up cabaret duo featuring the frontman for a Rolling Stones tribute act and a girl who failed the blind audition for the last series of the Voice performing an ersatz music hall jazz trifle written to order by a veteran professional jingle writer behind the theme tune for Jimll Fix It.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/eurovision/11457228/Eurovision-2015-Electro-Velvet-will-ensure-we-dont-win.html

     

    But staying on topic, it's worth noting that the female part of the duo, Bianca (26) is living with cystic fibrosis, an incurable, hereditary disease that reduces lifespans by 20+ years with large variance. Some people with the condition may die in their twenties (albeit this is now rare), so she could make a weak but potentially lucrative DDP candidate (low likelihood of dying, but many points if she dies).

     

    On a related note, the Finnish contestants are middle aged punk rockers "with learning disabilities". One of them looks as if he had a hereditary genetic defect. Of course, even IF... an obit in the UK would be in doubt. http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/feb/27/finnish-punk-band-take-punt-eurovision-title

     

    Is there any Deathlist potential behind the sudden withdrawal of the winner of the German preliminary competition?

     

    I was wondering about that, poor lad going from Voice of Germany 2013 to Ideas and Possibilities for 2016.

     

    Immortality of sorts..

     

    I had to think about him (in our context) as well. He is a bit of a weirdo compared to the clichés that usually win casting shows. He likes to cancel concerts if he feels his artistry compromised. There are rumours that he molested a female fan during a concert. He just canceled some other concerts but my interest in him is already waning. Apparently, he's been silent on social media for a couple of days, so maybe he's having a bit of a breakdown at the moment, but he does not have any fatal illness as far as we know.

    Lisa Bonchek Adams, "prominent online writer" who blogged about her cancer, is dead:

    I'm mainly posting this because in the past 4 days, I "digitalized" my candidate list and googled a lot of people with cancer. It seems to me that "terminal illness fame" is spreading in the age of the internet. And I wonder if the DDP or other dead pools will have to adjust their rules regarding qualifying obits or about what constitutes fame. Lisa Bonchek Adams also made it to the Guardian in 2014:

    Only recently I noticed that the search function has one peculiarity. It reduces the search to the board you're currently in. So if you want to search the whole forum you need to be on the main page. If you search in this thread for a name, you search in this thread only.
