time 7,948 Posted January 1, 2018 On a more positive note, DL is included in BBC Afrique's roundup of the year's 'surprising numbers', albiet near the bottom and a spurious Tom Petty reference. Translation: 17 The number of celebrities who died in 2017 (until December 22), making it the deadliest year for celebrities - at least according to Deathlist.net, a site specializing in the compilation of famous obituaries. The dead include Playboy magazine founder Hugh Heffner, comedian Jerry Lewis, billionaire David Rockefeller, music legends Tom Petty, Fats Domino and Glenn Campbell, alongside Mary Tyler Moore.

That's not even accurate. Most deaths of the 50 celebrities chosen year in year out on deathist.net? Yes. Deadliest year for celebrities as a general statement? Not what was said on this site. *sigh* I swear I'm going to run my degree through a shredder one of these days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, it's as surprising that people are still using forums in 2018 as the amount of effort they put into drawing up the list. " Also the comments are extremely stupid, especially this one: " I just had a gander and they don’t follow their own rules. 2018s list is basically the same as 2017s and 2016. So there’s people that’s been on there at least 3 times now. I didn’t bother to go any further back. It’s aload of crap. of course these people are going to pass soon, they’re all getting on.
