You can make the arguement for the likes of Goodyear, Hurd etc... but at the same time there's nobody that's been ridicuously picked in the 50 IMO Fair point.

I write there just after saw the interview of Anthony Delon his son on BFMTV. Delon, 88 years old, is physically diminished. He can not speak as easily as before. He needs assistance to move. Until these summer, Alain Delon moved between France and Switzerland (he has residences in both countries and citizenship of both), now since the summer the health of Delon deteriorated more and Anthony says that now his father wants to live his final years or months or weeks…don’t know…in the domain of Douchy, a former castle in a village, located one hour and half, south of Paris. (For precisions Google Maps is your help). Delon wants to be buried in his domain next to his dogs, he had many in the past and they are buried in the domain of Douchy. So I’m glad, Delon is in my French deathlist these year, he should have been considered by the DL . I think he will not reach his 90th birthday in november 2025, Anthony Delon even says that Christmas 2023 could be his last. In my think, Delon is afraid to die someday. Maybe he will achieve 89 but that’s almost sure, not 90. link to the video of Anthony Delon on French news channel BFMTV : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted January 7 I took Delon off my 2024 shadowlist at the last minute, based on the 2023 Christmas pics above. Wheelchair bound, but other than that, looks great and really youthful for 88. But it sounds like he is in poorer health than he looks. What do we think? Based on these photos, does he look like a 2024 death? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, looks like a man with a few years left but would be surprising if he makes 90. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted January 7 The DL did a fine job with drops this year: Yoko Ono was the only unwise drop, although it might also have been worth keeping on Marianne Faithfull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted January 10 The most deaths we have had in the first quarter has been six (in the record breaking year of 2020 and the seventh death was in the first week of the second quarter) assuming that our excellent start is promising a bumper year which four deaths feel like they should happen in the first quarter (very much "How are these people still alive?" as opposed to "I don't think they will make 2025") I will start with the obvious one: Jimmy Carter Nigel Starmer-Smith Joanne Woodward Sonny Rollins 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
