He might be the only one of those to make front pages of any British news websites (BBC sport in his case). Nit sure how many of the others will get any British news coverage. I’d hope at least Lelouch would get a proper obituary an recognition in England : he is as famous as Trintignant in France and has been at the head of a really famous family Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted October 26, 2021 Haven’t really done too much research tbh, but I suppose I can bring two fascinating names that have never been mentioned before that I’ve also been listening to lately. Admittedly both are a QO risk but they definitely can be useful for smaller pools. First is Alain Goraguer, who worked with Serge Gainsbourg previously. He also composed film soundtracks such as Fantastic Planet (La planete sauvage) since the 1970s. Second is Gil Trythall, who is a classical pianist. However he is more known for his ventures into electronic music, particularly the album that uses country songs entirely with a moog synthesizer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted October 26, 2021 Another unmentioned before for the forum: Paul Trevillion, the cartoonist who caused arguments among bored football fans for decades with his You Are The Ref strip, is still alive at 87. Has an active Twitter account, so presumably he's got a few years left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He seems to be in good health overall and probably (hopefully!) has a few years left, but if I had to guess, won't make it much past 94 or 95. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted October 27, 2021 I think Linda Ronstadt needs to be on more deadpoolers radar. In 2013 she was diagnosed with parkinsons disease but this was revised by doctors and changed to progressive supranuclear palsy in 2019 . An illness were on average people die between 7-10 years after diagnosis. Next year it will be nine years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,745 Posted October 28, 2021 Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway? Only 48 but she has pulmonary fibrosis, diagnosed three years ago. It's a progressive, terminal illness, no known cure and the average life expectancy of someone with it is 3-5 years. "As the condition progresses, a person with pulmonary fibrosis is at risk of other health complications including heart attack or failure, stroke, pulmonary embolism, and other lung diseases and infections." She was ill in May but currently attending events. However, as mentioned here, "The disease may get worse quickly (over months) or very slowly (over years)" Has also had some health problems in the past (pneumonia, several instances of norovirus, low blood pressure, along with some falls, concussions, a neck injury and a herniated disc according to this) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
