    Buster Bloodvessel

    Charlie Harper is most likely to go first. TV Smith out of the Adverts doesn't look too healthy these days.

    Missing Persons Bureau

    Jim Morrison was always a fan of the poet Arthur Rimbaud and had often suggested that he would just vanish. Rimbaud faked his own death then turned up years later in Africa. Hitler could have quite possibly escaped, there were no remains found so maybe he did escape. Although he's most likely to be dead by now Lucan I'm pretty sure is still alive somewhere if he didn't commit suicide.

    The Deathlist Kitchen

    soft boiled quails eggs in tartletts on a bed of baby spinach and crystalized ginger served that up as a buffet dish at my wedding and one of the guests looked at it and said "haven't you got any normal food"?

    Near misses 2006

    Yes, it was mentioned and catalighted 43 minutes ago, thanks as always thoguht for remnemnbering the dead. Ahh, I had a quick glance through but couldn't see it listed. Bit awkward to flick through the news sites while you're trying to work. I was almost the first to post about Dennis Weaver yesterday. I was just typing in some details and then my boss walked in and started talking to me

    Titanic Survivors

    I'm a Titanic survivor. It was quite an achievment, believe me. After my popcorn ran out, my stomach started rumbling. I ended up with my buttocks being quite numb after 3 hours sat in that chair. And talk about a mad dash when the ship started to sink. There was a terrible queue for the toilets

    Sad to see him go, although he has earned me another point on my dead pool picks

    Ian Brady

    Brady seems to be up to something by writing to the mother of Keith Bennet. Not sure why she would care about his treatment at Ashworth after what he and Hindley did to her son Brady writes to victim's mother

    Derby Dead Pool 2006

    Surely the newspaper would have to retract the obituary if the person isn't actually dead ?

    David Irving

    It still exists Harv, but we have to be on guard. Beware those who want to punish unpopular opinions (although I believe the holocaust deniers are idiots). Believe it or not, he calls himself a historian

    Damn, I have been away from the UK for too long If I had known earlier that he had a brain tumour I would have put him on my list

    What kind of deathlist site to you guys think you're running if didn't even add Katsulas to your list. His deadly cancer was a well-known news for the whole year 2005! The kind where we try to predict which celebrities will die over the course of the next year. We have room for only 50 people. We give ourselves a pat on the back when we get one right and sometimes we kick ourselves when we miss one. There have been a few times when I've said to myself when people have died this year, "I forgot they were still alive" , "bollocks!! I forgot they were ill" or "sh*t! I wish I hadn't dropped them in favour of...." This is the reason why we have the "Near Misses" thread, so we can discuss those that could have made it onto the list at some point. and also some of the more obscure ones that have died. I would never have guessed Andreas Katsulas in a million years, but since seeing a photo of him in his role in Babylon 5 I recognise him but wouldn't have been able to think of his character name or unless someone told me, the name of the actor. The 50 people that are on the deathlist are ones that we feel confident will die this year. Whether or not we want to see them die, is another matter. However there is room for 50 people. try playing a game where you have to just choose 10 celebrities. It's not easy is it? there are so many possibilities and you have to choose carefully.

    Gary Coleman

    Gary Coleman is still as obnoxious as ever. He's more likely to be killed by a disgruntled fan as he dislikes signing autographs Yes I've heard about that too. That was another reason for my piking him. Isn't there meant to be some sort of curse on Diff'rent Strokes? I know Dana Plato died young Dana Plato ended up commiting suicide after she couldn't get any more work when the show ended

    now that the cold war is over this advice is just as good if your about to go ona hunting trip with Dick Chneney... Even when the cold war was on, it was still a load of crap. It was about as useful as "Protect & Survive" Hiding under your desk during a nuclear attack wouldn't do you much good

    Kay Walsh

    In what way is this site "sick"? There are hundreds of sites similar to this one. Are you going to take legal action against all of these sites? Btw very to hear that Kay Walsh has passed away too. Saw her in a couple of movies when I was a child. She had a good and full life
