Jonah 167 Posted January 6 4 minutes ago, drunkasaskunk said: Deathlist has JC as 100 years old. He is only 99 I think it's because the DeathList lists everyone at the age they would have after their birthday for that year. All the other celebrities who haven't yet celebrated their 2024 birthdays are also listed as being one year older. Edit: LWCZ beat me to it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 6 Glynis and Draper didn’t make it to their birthday this year yet they’re listed as the year they would’ve turned have they lived Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tracy 1,878 Posted January 6 They do have Louis Farrakhan a year older than he really is. Hope they didn't based the pick on him dying at 92. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 14,847 Posted January 7 It's a format often seen on headstones and death notices. Someone who died aged, say, 86 died "In his 87th year". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Obit 331 Posted January 7 I assume that this website uses a formula for the age field that calculates age based on YOD-YOB. It's one thing that would be nice to see changed so that age at death can be correct, but I believe it's easier from a website coding perspective to do a flat YOD-YOB than it is to account for exact dates.

It's something to be corrected in the obit when they die, if necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bfc 40 Posted January 8 He must be very mentally sharp to still be alive despite being so physically frail. Roz looked better than he did when they were photographed in the car on his birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roz looked better than he did when they were photographed in the car on his birthday. Perhaps he has become aware of this thread and is determined to keep going so more and more people can post inane drivel about how amazing it is that he is still alive. Maybe he's sat there lapping up the attention. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
