He's not at imminent risk of death enough to make it into my top 50, and besides being old seems to be a great candidate to make it to 2025 at least. #2 is kind of a joke. I wonder what the committees obsession with him is? David Attenborough is only five months younger and got got from this year's list. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree with you.. Even though I like Dick VanDyke as an entertainer, and he deserves his spot on the list. David Attenborough deserves credit for his contributions to society as well.

Obviously both pass the notability test, but it's the likelihood of their death this year. Attenborough is looking noticeably frailer of late, and his voice is weaker. DVD seems in much better health, but a fall could change all that, or he could just keel over with a stroke or heart attack, anything's possible at that age. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBS think Dick Van Dyke might die soon by giving him an 98th birthday celebration. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the same thing but then I just saw him in an interview and he looked and sounded as well as someone on the precipice of a century can look. It could very well be, however, that he is unwell which is why CBS chose to honor him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could just be that CBS realize they hadn't done anything for him in years and would rather do something while he was 100% alive rather than when he's dead. They've been caught out before after all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elvis is alive! 75 Posted January 3 My first movie in a theater was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I annoyed my whole family for weeks later still singing the songs from the movie. Still one of my favorites as well as Dick Van Dyke being one of my favorite actors. I hope he lives forever! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The below screencap with Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes is from this Monday's episode. This episode was filmed 5 or 6 months ago, so both Van Dyke And Hayes were still 97 at the time. There was a video of Bill Hayes still walking around on Facebook after this was filmed so he is not as of yet permanently confined to a wheelchair. The wonderful gentleman who recently acted with Dick van Dyke on "Days of Our Lives," Bill Hayes, is now dead at 98. Interestingly enough, the first thing I thought of when he died was not his soap opera work but the fact that he was mentioned in this thread. I knew in that moment that I had to update the British blokes on the DeathList about this. As far as I know, Mr. van Dyke is still alive, thank goodness. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve 596 Posted January 24 Of course it is very possible that he could live well into his 100's and even become a supercentenarian but as so often happens it only takes a fall or flu/chest infections at DVD's age and could be a goner in a heartbeat. In March 2017 my grandfather had what appeared to be a common cold and was still relatively active. Within 2 weeks he passed away with pneumonia at the age of 79. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
