So this story isn't gonna go away, huh? I mean it will when she does within the next few months, but she's so large on the radar now that those of us who fancy the next Terri Schiavo/Whatever That Italian One Was Called as their DDP captain will already be praying she holds out past Christmas (do they celebrate Christmas in ultra-orthodox Christian Korean families?)

Not a death sentence but Gerry Anderson has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's I am surprised he and Sylvia don't have their own thread.

His prostate cancer has somehow improved from stage IV to stage II within the course of five days. Doesn't that make him some kinda of medical miracle?

I have just been reading about Andy Williams and thought I'd see if we had any info on him. He doesn't seem to have a thread yet but I noticed Windsor had him as one of his picks in his footer so I suppose his health issues are already well-known. According to his Wiki page, which cites Fox News, "On Friday, November 4, 2011, it was reported in the press that Williams has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. He is undergoing chemotherapy treatments in Houston and will then move with his wife to a rented home in Malibu, California to be closer to cancer specialists in the Los Angeles area." Any news since then? What is the survival rate for bladder cancer?

In the spirit of the Raoul Moat thread, do you think the as-yet unidentified Toulouse gunman will be taken alive, shot by les gendarmes or commit suicide?

Prince Friso of Orange-Nassau went skiing, found an avalanche and is in hospital and 'critical condition'. He's an unremarkable man, his only claim to fame is that his mum is Queen Beatrix. regards, Hein

Sadly very seriously ill even though he appears to be buggering on splendidly.

Nominal GOP front runner presidential candidate, economic idiot and former CEO of Goodfellas Pizza Herman Cain would have probably got his own DL thread anyway merely out of the fact that he's a possible assassination risk if he ever does become US president. However, what's of more use to us is the fact that in 2006 he was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer that had metastased to his liver. Although it's now in remission, I can't imagine the stress of running for president will do him that good, and even the most optimistic of his doctors say that he has a "50% chance of being alive five years from now". So have at it.

I have just learned that Dennis Ritchie has passed away: http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/10...t.with.illness/ http://en.wikipedia..../Dennis_Ritchie Really sad about this one. He did far, far more for the computer industry than Steve Jobs, IMHO but his passing almost certainly won't get anywhere near the media attention. I wouldn't have the job I hold today if it weren't for his pioneering work co-developing Unix with Ken Thompson. RIP to one of the real fathers of the computer revolution. Not an exaggeration to say that I personally consider this the most significant death of the year thus far due to his impact on computing.

Wish it'd been Waddell and the tongue had to go, can't stand the bloke. The ultimate Marmite commentator, along with Alan Green (who I also can't stand). Thinking about it, nobody likes Alan Green do they. Freddie Flintoff was guest commentating on the darts yesterday. Enthusiastic, but pretty shit. Unlike Harry, I quite like Sid Waddell. However, the news that he's been diagnosed with bowel cancer may be of interest.

Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's disease. Like A Rhinestone, uh ...duh

Former Mets HoF catcher Gary Carter has "inoperable brain cancer". I think he'd get a UK obit. Either way, he's a dead man walking (to first base).

A couple of days after Liz Taylor's dead i started wondering how other classic Hollywood actresses were doing health-wise. One of these actresses being Lauren Bacall (The Big Sleep). So i did a quick (and shallow) search on the internet just to discover that there is little to no news on her. So my next step would have been to post a question like "Does anyone know how Lauren Bacall is doing these days?" on her thread in the hope that the more trained celebrity health-trackers (like DevonDeathTrip or Rotten Ali) could tell me... well, how she is doing these days. But then i found out to my disapointment that Lauren Bacall didn't have her own thread. So after some consideration, I decided to do something what may bring forth some angry posts, I posted a new thread. I did consider two things before making such a drastic decision. 1) Is she famous enough: Yes 2) Is she old/frail/sick enough: She's surdenly old enough to atleast get some attention in the upcoming years (turning 87 this year). I don't know if she's frail/sick because i really couldn't find that much news about her (which must be a sign on it's own). So.......Does anyone know how Lauren Bacall is doing these days?

I know we're only supposed to start threads when so and so's attached to a drip, but hey, LG started a Dio thread whilst he was gambolling around like a spring lamb and within the year the poor chap had incurable cancer. Not that I'm wishing ill to either of these fine fellows (or drug-addled perv/paedo if you prefer), but they did a lot of hard living, let's not forget. Wish I could provide some news, but I've been told that the Little Richard forum is always worth keeping an eye on. I'm sure Anubis would approve, and we could always post some quality / action. (Edit: looks like the thread's becoming a one-stop shop for all things 50s-rockin', which may not be such a bad thing and might keep the cobwebs away).

<disclaimer>I think this will be a very quiet thread but what the hell? </disclaimer> I have just been listening to the *absolutely lovely* French singer, Cora Vaucaire. and I decided to look her up. To my surprise, she is still alive, having been born in 1921. Do any French speaking Death Listers have more info on her health? For those who want to listen to Madam Vaucaire at her best, I recommend her version of Prevert's song, "Demons et Merveilles." (Just trying to add a touch of class to DeathList!)

She may have been mentioned previously but is well worth keeping an eye on, turns 59 this year has had lengthy battles with alcoholism and drug addiction, not to mention a battle with cancer
