dead Coretta Scott King

She sounds like more than a candidate to me come on shes a gonna

Very borderline for famousness I'd have said, but I suppose we should defer to our US cousins. As regards Cherie Blair (assuming she doesn't pop her Manolos for another 20-30 years) when she does, I doubt she'll get more than a 1/4 page obit and a "news in brief" by then. I don't think being a mouthy cow and a moderately succesful QC would qualify. Would say, Lady Callaghan have counted? Or Mary Wilson?

I'm hearing rumours that she has died. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

 

Also check out my dead pool for a side bet on this. I'm opening this up to everyone

Yes she's dead, here's an obit.

 

 

Can this thread be merged with the original,

Given the amount of women he was sleeping with, I doubt they would have stayed together long if he hadn't been shot.

 

Then again, I thought she would be older than she was.

The news is all over the place - CNN, Drudge Report, wikipedia's recent deaths and on and on.

 

She's gone.

she died just a day before the start of National Black History Month here in the U.S.

And now, of course, she is history

I don't know. If you only get one hit a month, does that make it a duff year?

How about "Now attending her own funeral" for a snarky obit?

[Windsor 2,233]

Excellent, second hit on my DDP.

 

I researched her last night and discovered she was attending things. I thought she would see out the year.

[Gross Urnings 0]

My first ever '2 in the first month' year! Cheers Mr. Rawls and Ms Scott-King!

[Windsor 2,233]

If I had gone with Rawls, this would have been my third.

My first success was Rugova.

[Paul Bearer 6,100]

Damn, I'm still waiting for my first hit

[Grim Reaper 186]

I think one a month is acceptable pace for DeathList, but January 2006 has been a huge month for celebrity deaths so maybe its a pity we didn't pick up more.

 

However, if Keef drops dead during the Stones tour I am going to start getting seriously worried.

[Canadian Paul 97]

Damnit. They said she was getting better, so I removed her off my list.
