I figure that her pancreatic cancer will be a close call between 2009 and 2010. I say she makes it so....

She's quadraplegic and she set off today to sail the channel single handed. Can you be 'handed' when nothing below the neck works? Anyway, it's brave to the point of suicidal since she's dependent on blowing through straws to steer herself. There's some damn big ships going up and down that sea lane, it'll be dark part of the time. Etc etc.

I feel this crowdsourced list regular suffering from dementia longer than anyone else notable deserves her own thread.

Decided to give a topic to this critically acclaimed actor. Stopped treatment in July, so surely a 2019 death, right?

Could he be the first death this year, after news today that he has suffered a major heart attack? Report in today's London Evening Standard states from his friend that he is desperately ill. Prison sources state that Biggs is "stable" Will he, won't he?

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.

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

Not a well man (allegedly) - might be worth a long shot. love and kisses little sister

Any news on Jimmy Saville's well-being? A possible contender for the 2005 list perchance? He'd be getting a bit snaggle-toothed by now.

Russian Dissident Alexander Litvinenko has been poisoned allegedly by the KGB. I don't know about you, but I think we have a high new entry to the DDP possibles chart!

Whitney Houston hits bus You're gonna have to try harder than that, Whitney! Ranks alongside the "Prince Charles cuts lip whilst shaving" type of headline!

Lester Piggott in intensive care It appears the Grim Reaper is harder to dodge than the Inland Revenue...

Just as a suggestion Carl Reiner who will be 83 and a possible participent for next year

Yeah, so he has an aggressive form of brain cancer, so he's definitely a very good candidate for next year I think. Felt like he needed his own thread, and I try to limit the amount of threads I make, but it's too tempting this time, so here we are...

Charlie Watts, Rolling Stones drummer, apparently receiving treatment for lung cancer... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3566160.stm Doesnt sound too serious but maybe one to keep an eye on.

I know that last time there was an Alex Higgins thread it turned into a rant fest. So this is more general question, which I suspect will get very few answers-Aren't there a ton of sick and dying snooker players Joe O'Boye, the Francisco's, etc . Suspect this will prove to be a thread to nothing but.......?

Why, you ask? Well, I‘ve been researching into Maranne’s precise date of birth. If anyone’s interested I can keep you updated on what I find, now on Maranne’s own thread. Apart from that, Maranne will be 95 sometime next year and is famous in the UK for Pink Panther films, Fawlty Towers, Darling Lili, Doctor Who etc. He is also my favourite living actor and I think he really deserves his very own thread. Such a great actor and his mysterious date of birth may continue to prompt interesting discussion. Furthermore, Toby Hadoke said in April 2020, Maranne cannot remember being in Doctor Who. Dementia maybe? Apologies for all this waffle, but I wanted to explain why I started a specific thread for Maranne. I felt I may have too much information on him for his related threads like the James Bond one (he only appeared in Thunderball for a few seconds by the way) which are not specifically designed just for news on Maranne and as I anticipate he’ll be on the 2021 DL, he would have his own thread soon anyway. I have made lots of 2021 DL suggestions but I ask for Maranne over any of my other suggestions, please DeathList committee. This legend should not be a DL miss. In future, I will try not to make new threads unless they are absolutely necessary, this one was just important to me.

I caught sight of Dennis Waterman talking about the Sweaney the other night, he could well be reunited with the guvner Jack Reagan in 2006. He was gulping in large amounts of breath between sentences. and his top lip was stretched tight over some extremely large teeth. He could quite well shake a six in the new year

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?

i find this web site mean towards the people who you are predicting to die and their families. how would any of you like to log on to a web site and see that people were predicting you of a relation of yours to die by the end of the year. he is alive and well and has a years left in him.

Yes that loveable rogue may not make beynd the end of 2004 but please don't cry for me Argentina........ http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/3637933.stm (Was that cheesy enough?)

First ever recipient of an animals heart. Modern medicine at its finest. Guess they saved his bacon. I wonder how long he's got now. Wasn't famous before the operation, but confident he'll get a QO when he dies.

she got cancer.

Perhaps Mr Mandela is getting ready to accept the inevitable...... http://news.bbc.co.u...ica/3765913.stm
