The title says it all.

109-year-old educationalist Shivakumara Swami was recently in hospital due to jaundice, though he's already been released.

Does anyone think that windsor davies is a cert for deathlist 2006? I havent heard from him for ages but have heard hes still alive. Does any1 no what he is up 2 at da min and if he is a ill or anything?

The Tony and Golden Globe Winner and Oscar nominated actress singer and subject of regular impersonations by Ryan Stiles, Carol Channing turns 95 next January . She is best known for appearing in Hello Dolly!which earned her a Tony award. She also won a golden globe award and on Oscar nomination for Thoroughly Modern Millie.She is also a dancer and a stand up comedienne. So a pretty much all round performer who fits into several different threads. I definitely think she is a name that sounds very Death List worthy. Sir Creep also reckons she is on her way out so if he is right this thread gives him the perfect space to be as smug as he wishes to be Looks and sounds weak in this commercial last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mANJ9T_Bsaw Channing in action as a very creepy Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

The King died on his throne exactly 28 years ago. Bookmakers have revealed that wagers have all but dried up from fans betting that Elvis Presley is still alive. Over the years bookmakers William Hill have taken thousands of bets that Elvis will be found alive, but in the last year fans have stopped placing bets. Bookmakers have now lengthened the odds of Elvis being found alive from 100/1 to 1000/1. "The biggest odds we have ever given was a Elvis related bet, we offered 14 million to one that Elvis will crash land a UFO into Loch Ness hitting the monster," said bookmaker Rupert Adams. "It is perhaps the end of an era, where even his most ardent fans no longer believe that Elvis could have remained hidden for so long."

Figured he had his own thread by now. Here 'tis then. So before everyone (me included) starts chiseling a date on his headstone, the Travis County (TX) Democratic Party just held a benefit for Overton for his years of service. Did the 111-year old cigar-smoking veteran attend in person? Let's go to the video...

Just watched the Fantastic 4 on DVD - not a bad film as superhero live action goes. Stan Lee does his usual cameo as a postman this time. Hell, this guy is 84 and looks in better shape than people 20 years younger, so no reason to stick him on the list, but it does give an excuse to run a thread on comics and comic heros. I had a sizeable collection of American Spiderman, Batman, Superman et al stuff, but when I hit my teens only 2000AD did it for me. Any thoughts? DWB

Now that he has had a heart attack I think it might be a good idea to start a thread about him.

maybe?

This is the place to discuss Fidel Castro

Peter Falk is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Should Zsa Zsa be on this years list or 2006? She has many different ages such as being 95 88 and 86 years old? She was always known to lie about her age. I see her as being a fair canidate.

Now confined to a care home although she loves it, now 92 and a 70s comedy great so deserves her own thread. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/ab-fab-star-june-whitfield-11706481

To retain an air of mystery to the scoring system; a few tweaks have been made and scores for last year will not be released until after entries for this years competition close. To clarify as you seem to be confused easily, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THE CALCULATION. Just send the 5 names. Welcome to a new pool that will run from 1st Jan 2017 00:00am to 31st Dec 2017 23:59. Each player must submit a team of five names and the score for each candidate on that team will be calculated as follows: 1 will be used for 0. International dialling codes of all nations in which the person has lived in + any regional dialling code that might have applied to them during their lifetime + the total box office take of each film they have appeared in + the total singles sales of all the records they have released / the number of children the individual has produced x (the year of their birth - the year of the death + the year of their mothers death if known) - the number of notable people that are listed as dead on wikipedia up to the date of calculation for 2017 / the number of family members listed in their wikipedia side bar with wiki links * the total number of followers any religion they proclaim to belong to has according to the most reliable source I can find x the number of shopping centres in the city/town that they are living in at the time of their death / the number of sexual encounters any person has publically bragged; the UK classification letter as a number (A being 1, B being 2) of any drugs the person has publically admitted to taking * the number of episodes their most recent television series appearance has had (if a series had multiple runs i.e classic/modern who or Star Trek T.O.S + Start Trek: Discovery etc etc then an aggregate of the entire run) * the number of search results brought up by google when their name is searched + the number of bing results brought up by google when their name is searched * the number of results if their name is searched on the BBC website * the number of professional snooker and or association football matches the individual has played in their life / the length of the longest rugby match they have been involved in + a random number between 1 and 1000 generated from this site= Your total score that death Deadline for entries is 23:59 December 31st 2017 If exacting information cannot be found for any figure (i.e it is clear they played some professional football matches but not clear how many, only the known number will be included (i.e the number of pro football matches we can be sure they played) Best of luck. EDIT: Teams must be sent by Private Message using this forum. All entrants must have a) their own wikipedia article b ) at least five news articles returned if google searched. I will aim for calculations to be carried out on the last day of the month in which celebrities die. Masterlist of Entries YoungWillz

Would there be a call to put Saddam on the list for next year? He may be executed for his past actions?

Heard the old nun on the radio this morning. Sounded OK, but... Born in 1930, history of poor health since the 1970's, series of heart attacks around 2000/2001, not to mention her relentless hedonistic lifestyle. Opinions?

Senator Edward Kennedy has been hospitalised after suffering stroke-like symptoms.

It might see off Fats Domino if he's still 'Walkin' to New Orleans.'

Actress Penny Marshall is reported by the National Enquirer to be suffering from brain and liver tumours. Her agent has dismissed the report as "complete nonsense", as agents are prone to do. But if they don't sue, it's probably true.

Since he is currently hospitalized, and considering the health issues he had in recent years, I think he could be a possible candidate for future years

This is the place to George Steinbrenner

Long rumoured to in ill health. According to the nearest thing he has to an official site - beefheart.com - those closest to him deny illness everyone else believes he's got MS. Anyone out there know more?

Hey, wondered if you had considered Hugh Hefner for next years list. He is already 82 and I mean, how much longer can he go with 3 demanding girlfriends???

As suggested by some folk on her husband's thread, she needs her own (and naw, last year's Barbara vs. Rosalynn thread doesn't count). The going on 92, frail-looking, many times hospitalized, stressed out by husband's health, soon-to-be-widow former First Lady is a good candidate for next year.

Being that the entire species (all variations) may well be extinct in our children's' lifetimes, I figured we could count them down, 1 by 1. We lost two bloody black rhinos just this month. Denver Zoo officials are mourning the loss of a 21-year-old black rhinoceros after the animals health caused the zoo to euthanize him. Zoo officials say since 2014 they have tried 20 different procedures and therapies to alleviate the critically endangered animals foot problems, including customized boots. Mshindi was born at the zoo in 1993. His name means warrior or champion in Swahili. The rhino was taught to hold a paint brush in his mouth and create paintings that were then sold to raise money for rhino conservation.
