alt obits guy 3,371 Posted June 19, 2023 Vicki Eastaugh, my 2020 joker, but a subsequent disallowed pick for lack of fame, appears to have died in 2022. She was 24 when I selected her for the 2020 DDP. This article from June 19th, 2023, about her cousin, indicates she died off the radar at age 26. Cause of death was breast cancer. She had been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in 2019. Technically a 'List of the Missed'. https://www.hemeltoday.co.uk/news/people/plucky-hemel-schoolgirl-takes-on-charity-challenge-in-tribute-to-her-late-cousin-4187576 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,442 Posted June 20, 2023 The qualifying obits aren't some mystical knowledge. They're promoted on site, by email and on this forum regularly. It's not the committee fault if a player can't be bothered checking them out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Grimace 359 Posted June 27, 2023 The Economist is listed as a QO source, so this should fittingly qualify as such for Economics laureate Harry Markowitz: https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2023/06/26/americans-love-american-stocks-they-should-look-overseas It mentions the day of his death (22 June) in the article before the rest is blocked out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,342 Posted June 27, 2023 What I need @YoungWillz fairly soon is a decent number of hits in my Derby Dead Pool entries this year to atone for and counteract the humiliation of so many of my recently dropped picks dying and making it onto the list of the missed. Esther Shapiro, June Kenton, Michael Fagan, Leonard Hayflick, Bob Mackie,Jefferson King, Marcia Ashton....over to you!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted June 28, 2023 The waiting begins. Daniel N. Paul has died. He was a unique pick for me, but one whose QO chances are questionable. I might be searching for an acceptable obit in perpetuity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m still amazed that Leon Bibb was my only list of the lost after all these years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
