It is going to be interesting to see which footballers make the DL as there are quite a few serious contenders around and many are household names.

Kenny Sansom is a very strong candidate for 2017 also. Good to see you back Deathray.

I don`t think the main risk for him is organ failure more suicide an accident or choking on his own vomit.Alcohol poisoning is probably the most likely to finish him off.

79 Today Drop him or keep him ?

He really should.This guy has been playing with fire for years.I was in a pub last night and asked which celebrities were going to die next year and the first name mentioned was Gazza.I don`t reckon he will last too much longer.

Forgot Leslie Phillips and Brucie.We defo need to keep them.

Subs: 1)Stefan Karl Stefannson 2)Terry Jones 3)Ray Wilson

Right seeing as the interest and demand has been high I am pleased to open up my eponymous deadpool for 2016.Pick 50 names you think won`t see 2017 and submit them here or inbox me.If a candidate dies points are awarded by year of birth .For example Kirk Douglas would give you 16 points ,Mel Gibson would give you 56 and Lindsay Lohan would give you 86.The winner is the player with most points come 31st December. Supercentenarians are permitted but points will only be awarded for Validated cases at the time of death.Yes 1899 births will give you 99 points.1900 births will give you sod all.No candidates born after 1997 will be accepted.Entries can be entered throughout the year.You are all allowed a joker.These are the obituaries I will accept: BBC News Sky News CNN Fox News Yahoo Daily Mail Daily Mirror Daily Star The Sun The Guardian The Telegraph The Independent Digital Spy Associated Press (I decided to keep these obit rules as every single name no matter how obscure scored) The obituary is only valid if the person`s name is mentioned in a title and specifies that they have died. IMPORTANT CHANGES: 1)Entries must be submitted by 1st January at midnight UK time. 2)There will be a transfer date on 1st July 2016 whereby you can switch any 5 of your picks except your joker or already deceased picks.This is to give us all a chance not to waste the Sewell,Sacks and Woodlawn type picks next year. 3)Please provide 5 substitutes in your entry in case someone from your main list dies in 2015 and it is not reported in the media until 2016.It also helps as some picks may die between entry and the starting line. 4)When you have a hit please highlight your hit in red via editing your list.Not a rule but just makes it a lot easier.

So if you where om the committee which 13 would you dropand who would get the number 1 spot?

bloody hell

Wouldn't it be ironic if he wandered into the road and was hit by a bus? Apparently he doesn`t have dementia he just mentioned his memory wasn`t great anymore in an interview and the rumors snowballed from there.He did also have a low grade prosytate cancer.But he was interviewed in his home recently after Carrie`s death.

Carrie noted that Debbie was frail and had overcome health issues:http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/carrie-fisher-opens-mother-debbie-reynolds-frail-health/story?id=39195202

Was just saying earlier to a friend I wonder if Carrie`s death will finish off Debbie.

Unquestionably.

Ah sorry just read her condition was fair to serious.I really hope she pulls through for her grandaughter`s sake.Would be absolutely awful to lose both her Mum and Nan so close to each other.

Yes, bloody dreadful for the family and a shoo in for 2017 Hardly a shoo in.The stroke could be minor.Hasn`t Debbie had health problems in the past though?

Pretty solid list you got there, will have significant overlap with my own personal 2017 list for sure. Great list I would bring back Cardin Mugabe Brady and Kennedy as well though.

Tony Booth deserves to be in the top 10 on the 2017 list.

No idea he had parkinsons:Good call.I hope that when his time comes there is an accidental mispronounciation of his name on the News at Ten.

I haven't picked him in any pools for next year.Lynne Stewart I have in some though.Mainly because she has been ill for a long time now and has a chance of making the Drop 40.

List of hits so far: Goran Hadzic Pete Burns Sharon Jones A A Gill Craig Sager Piers Sellers Carrie Fisher

Nah. It was book showing Death Impends he already had her when they both had her. Having a threesome with a 96 year old.How disgusting.

Is Lassie Lou Ahern dead?
