The DL obituary writer doesn't really care about numbers, see Doris Day in 2019. I don't understand why something like this isn't simply corrected, it's no problem.

This is really a lucky strike for the DL

Bill Turnbull

I thought about that too, but you would have won the round anyway. So it really doesn't make any difference. That's how the cup works!

Ah ok. So it is not impossible for Delon to get assisted suicide this year. Asking for my theme team.

Ach, this little life

Does anyone know the guidelines for euthanasia in Switzerland? How long can it possibly take from a firm decision to assisted suicide?

I also score with Miguel Van Damme, thank you!

In my dream last night I scrowlled down the wikipedia "list of recent deaths" and read that German writer Martin Walser has died just one week after his 95th birthday. 'Yeah, next hit for my theme team and for the D-A-CH-list', I thought, but it was just a dream. Maybe wishful thinking.

Right, I also picked her in this game.

I'm a little glad that this dry cup month is nearly over now and that I don't have to knit a new team. @Sir Creep Unfortunately, the expectations of our duel were not fulfilled, we both certainly hoped for more murder and manslaughter Congratulations on the win and all the best for the next round(s)! Thanks to Spade for giving points to Luang Pho Yai so my team doesn't look too bad

Miguel Van Damme has died at the young age of 28. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10662873/Belgian-footballer-Miguel-Van-Damme-tragically-passes-away-aged-28.html

Right. He is a bedblocker in my German theme team for 5 years, now finally a unique hit, if he's getting a qo.

We do have a second hit, it's Egidius Braun, former president of the DFB, who died at the age of 97. https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/dfb-egidius-braun-tot-1.5548645 Thanks to @YoungWillz for letting me know! Edit:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10613937/Kelis-husband-photographer-Mike-Mora-tragically-passes-away-37-battling-stage-4-stomach-cancer.html Mike Mora has died and I replace him with Deborah James. I was surprised I didn't pick her before. @Lafaucheuse An update would be nice

I've felt the need to escape this world for a long time. The reality is hard to bear right now and is only getting worse. That's probably why I'm re-reading all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. Just switch off and dive into another world. It may not always be easier and more peaceful, but there are morals and solutions. Seems like that's a better place to be right now.

What a nice resolution! It was a pleasure to read! Thank you very much!

Claus Seibel, a well-known German TV journalist and news host ("heute" im ZDF) has died at the age of 85. https://www.rnd.de/medien/claus-seibel-ist-tot-frueherer-heute-sprecher-mit-85-jahren-gestorben-IHX4ESDJPZGX3GVYPYUXZXLY4Q.html

As reported not until today, Shirley Hughes has died on February 25th, 2022 which means two hits in February and a third hit for @Bibliogryphon Yesterday's update will be updated.

I will enter in a couple of minutes. Good luck @Sir Creep On a good game for both of us!

I think you're absolutely right!

One from our very long longlist (who received nul points): Austrian local politician Eleonore Schönborn has died at age 101. She is also the mother of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn and is a pick in the DDP and maybe in the Centenarians DP. https://vorarlberg.orf.at/stories/3144787/

Catherine Wybourne has died, so I replace her with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
