    Still reckon the record will be smashed rather than just broken.

    Kirk Douglas.Had an argument about him not being dead at work so that is bound to jinx him.

    Gord Downie

    He has secured his place in DL history.R.I.P
  5. The toughest drops should we not break the record are Tutu and Gall.QE2 is so healthy that missing her although would be a huge miss could be defendable.

    Harper Lee

    Pathetic how these pc morons completely miss the point so often which this case perfectly exemplifies.
  9. I missed off Billy Connolly Terry Jones Harley Race Superstar Billy Graham Dennis Hastert Charles Manson Burt Reynolds Jimmy Armfield Stan Bowles Barbara Walters and John Hume.The committee in short are spoilt for choice for new entries next year.
  10.

    Tony Booth

    Chainsmoking heavy drinking actor and womanizer Tony Booth is now 84 and in terrible shape.He was diagnosed with Alzheimer`s in 2004 suffered a stroke in 2010 and was diagnosed with heart failure and emphysema in 2014 but somehow is still going.His wife Steph states that he doesn`t really remember her anymore and that his lungs are so bad that "it sounds like he is drowning" and that his heart failure is so severe that nothing can be done medically to help him.He was also admitted to a nursing home briefly a while back when his wife had a cold as "a simple cold could finish him off".Definitely one to include for next year if he makes it to next year.He is best known as the scouse git out of "till death us do part" ad was the president of equity an actors union.He also is one of the few actors to feature in Coronation Street Eastenders and Emmerdale.Also known for being Cherie Blaire`s Dad and Pat Phoenix`s husband for 6 whole days as well as being a prominent left wing activist . http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/health-family/i-have-on-more-than-one-occasion-wondered-why-i-go-on-caring-for-tony-1.2634426 http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/health/fiona-phillips-meets-tony-booth-3130078

    38. Harvey Weinstein

    Well yeah seeing as many of the allegations revolve around him asking women to watch him shower or masterbate.That would immediately make me stay the hell away from him for life.

    38. Harvey Weinstein

    I am a little disturbed by some of the news reporting of this yes the guy is clearly a seedy pervert but I have seen him compared with Cyril Smith and Jimmy Savile.I am not defending the guy and agree he is a fucking weirdo but lets get some perspective.

    Norman Lloyd

    I would say he is famous enough for the Deathlist guaranteed uk obituary guaranteed .At 103 he would be a good pick for next years list also.Sure he is great for his age but at such an old age any bug fall accident or illness can easily turn fatal.
