http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/health-family/married-to-alzheimer-s-what-keeps-us-together-1.2486707:Latest article from Tony Booth`s wife and carer.Nothing new about his heart failure or emphysema but it appears his memory has now declined to the point that for the most part doesn`t recognize her or remember their life together and that she is exhausted by having to look after him .I am not surprised as he has been 12 years since he was diagnosed.She has a very moving way of writing about how cruel Alzheimers is.You can tell she really loves him by the way she speaks of him and has stood by and cared for him.If it was my partner I doubt I could look after them full time.

I am aware Andrew Smith has died.I am really busy with work and will do an update on Thursday including him and any others .Bear with me!

100 today

I'm glad he was able to keep it quiet if that's what he wanted. A fuck you to the corpse chasing media and indirectly to wankers like us. I reckon there's a few dozen would get similar coverage if they died unexpectedly like Bowie: Prince Mick Jagger Jimmy Page Brian May Paul McCartney John Lydon Ringo Starr Bob Geldolf Bono Tina Turner Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen Surviving Bee Gees Madonna Billy Joel Lars Ulrich Stevie Wonder Lionel Richie Leonard Cohen Bruce Dickinson Elton John Any member of Pink Floyd Roger Taylor (or any member of The Who) Cliff Richard Any member of Abba I reckon Vera Lynn will also get a hell of a lot of coverage as would Joni Mitchell .

Bloody sad.A real innovator and genius.I certainly did not expect him to die this year.Had anyone heard any rumours at all?I wonder how many other musicians deaths would get the same amount of news coverage.

This is so so fucked up.I had a lot of sympathy with him when he was looking after her and just after she died but then his behaviour got stranger and stranger.First he started constantly updating her twitter account which is weird then he said he was talking to her spirit which is creepy and now he is making love to her ghost.I do wonder if he has had a breakdown of some description.Either that or he is just a publicity whore.I know that people deal with grief differently but this is just disrespectful to her and plain creepy!

Agreed. I've never felt much of anything for the people we post, save for a couple that impacted me. But this is the first one that it is killing me to watch. Finding out the child is a Down's baby was the topper. I can't express the absolute pain Rory Feek must be going through -- 2 years ago he and his wife making albums, going to red carpet affairs, and having a child on the way. 2 years later his wife is about to die, the band is no more, and he has a lifetime of being a single parent. Just awful awful awful. Sucks. If I was new to DPing I may have quit, this story is gut-wrenching. ​SC It is really grim and I share your sentiment completely!It reinforces the fact that dead pooling is not a wish list as some people seem to think.It is merely a game of probability.Joey is my joker but I of course don`t want her to die but whether I pick her or not she will .I feel less bad picking those who`s fate is pretty much certain for some reason.If there is a chance they may recover I feel bad . When they have a chance of recovery I find those picks harder .to justify with my conscience.My heart breaks for the whole family especially Rory and her daughter.I do hope she goes soon now as it is clear from Rory`s last post that she is now in an awful amount of pain.A real tragic situation all around . This is the saddest pick I have ever chosen. Joey recorded this song before she got ill and I confess I did shed a few tears :

BTW in case no one asked did you mean Baron Hutchinson or the Arkansas politician? One is 100, the other a far more interesting character. LOL ​SC Baron Hutchinson

Didn't you read the original post? His next hit won't be his 100th. He's still four hits away. Also, I feel bad for Feek I was rooting for her to survive at least a few more months. Oh bugger!Oh well cba to change it now!Yeah it is really horrible when someone so young with a small child passes:( I am surprised she has lasted this long as she has looked gravely underweight for weeks now.

Joey Feek I reckon http://www.people.com/article/joey-rory-feek-dying-cancer-blog-postquote: " Her pain and discomfort has continued to increase daily and so has the morphine to help her be comfortable," he continued. "The dosage she's needed to keep the pain away has quadrupled in the last four days." http://ericavebury.blogspot.co.uk/:Lord Avebury is in hospital with kidney problems and requires surgery.Looks like he is very near the end too.I reckon Feek will go tomorrow and Lord Avebury will go in a week or two.

Leonard Nimoy as he was the most iconic.

He would've done it anyway - this to me is no different to a newspaper editor publishing a resignation letter themselves online 10 minutes before PMQs. The key here is he'd already written to Corbyn at the time.. To me it is just the same as when the news channels film and live broadcast a resignation speech.It is merely a way of presenting what people are saying.I am guessing he was probably scheduled to come on anyway and if he wasn`t so what?As you said they would have reported it within minutes anyway and since it wasn`t pre-announced he would resign viewing figures wouldn`t be affected.If a shadow Tory minister wanted to announce a resignation live on TV they would have done the same.

74 today !

Also Eastenders character Charlie Slater was killed off in Tonight`s episode.The actor who plays him Derek Martin is 83 in April and overweight.Maybe one to keep in mind in the future.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-35256774:Sian Blake and her children confirmed dead!Bloody awful:(

The Pete Best of Monty Python? He was the chap who started off with what became the Python lot at uni, but swiftly decided academia was a better pursuit. They replaced him with a far more famous person: Gilliam perhaps? I'm not much of a Python buff. Think it was Graham Chapman who took his place. Buffery seems to have been in Twice A Fortnight, I've seen a clip of The Battle Of Hastings on YouTube but can't work out who he is, William The Conqueror's servant perhaps? l Tony Buffery was my dad. He was replaced by Graham Chapman as he wanted to persue his career in Neuropsychology. He was a huge influence to what became the Pythons and Goodies. He was funny to the end. Died Boxing Day 2015. Very sorry to hear that.Thoughts are with you and your family!

Nigel looked better though.He actually looks pretty good for a man his age.

Apologies I am going senile ha! Early onset, you got about 7-8 years. SC I will go to Dignitas next year then so you can pencil me in for next year in that case.I should write an inspirational blog so you can all claim the points!

Indeed you are right!

The Aden Hailu Daily Mail article qualifies as it is a sub title outside the main article.Also when you google her name the Daily Mail article title has her name in it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3385800/Woman-Reno-hospital-end-life-case-dies-life-support.html

Ok first two hits are in :Robert Stigwood which gives youwanticewiththat 34 points but Devon Death trip has stolen the show by picking 20 year old Aden Hailu who died whilst on life support.As she was his joker he has a whopping 180- points (and yes I did check reports from last year to validate her year of birth as 1995) so congratulations.Now we have had our first hits I am definitely cutting off new entries although I don`t think it would give you an advantage in this game,I just can`t deal with any more entries.So that really is it now! I am going to be very busy for next 10 days or so with work so rest assured if I don`t respond on here I haven`t joined the great big dead pool in the sky I am just going to be rushed off my feet and therefore unable to update the scoreboard as much as I would like.
