So, if JLG is true to form we'll see this happen identically three times in succession without ever really understanding why.

Can't find a specific IMDB for Sue Hayes. IMDB remain at the point of writing blissfully unaware of Rod Caird's death.

Caird died on 12th October after a short hospital stay according to his children on FB. They described it as a shock so it must've been sudden.

Edit: BAFTA has his full birth and death dates here.

Journalist Carol Gould is still struggling financially and health-wise according to her GoFundMe page. However, Wikipedia has the following:

 

 

Latest Gofundme update (6 Jun): "Carol has suffered from 4 1/2 years of relentless Stage 4 cancer treatment and the absence of regular professional earnings." It also says that she is too frail to move from her home. Yet a month later, she is back working for BBC? I don't follow British media so you guys probably know better.

Carol Gould is now being reported has having died: 

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1680503/

 

I believe she's a DDP pick for this year. http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_G.html#gould9c020

When Predictor asked about this case 3 months ago, I said she appeared to be a no-name with some TV appearances and her cancer seemed to be under control.

 

I've made better predictions, I'll be honest.

Looks like she picked up a case of Corona on her way to the mortuary, according to her own Twitter feed.

My reasoning for including her in the DDP was that she'd had work/appearances for major British media outlets throughout the years. More recently, she was apparently covered in an article for Telegraph although I can't read it. It was in May 2021 and Roald Dahl-related. Having said that, I rarely read British newspapers (including obituaries) so estimating QO chances is a weakness of mine unless it's a no-brainer. So I could be totally wrong about this one. We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

 

May she rest in peace.
