Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 17, 2008 List updated. Here's some current health news: To start with, Ieng Sary might be soon following in the footsteps of Sam Bith, as he's been in hospital quite a lot recently. Darts player Dennis Priestley is recuperating at home and may be well enough to play again in mid-March, though he won't be getting the tests done to see how the treatment worked until the end of March. I couldn't find a solid health update on Canadian MP Barry Penner, but he's been out and about and he looks pretty healthy in the picture. Eunice Kennedy apparently got out of the hospital at some point, but she's apparently very frail, though still appearing in public (the video has nothing to do with her).

Death Impends 7,963 Posted February 17, 2008 Phyllis Diller - US Comic. Recently, has had major H/A & subsequently fitted with pacemaker, turned 90 this year. Fractured her back and was forced to cancel her 90th birthday Tonight Show appearance. Turns 91 this year. I noticed an error there, it says both "turned 90 this year" and "turns 91 this year", when only the latter should be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,963 Posted March 3, 2008 Jeff Healey - Canadian blues guitarist. I'm not sure about obit chances, since I'm Canadian and I've never heard of him, but he takes "born dying" to a whole new level - he was born with eye cancer and has been plagued with illness ever since, most recently lung cancer. Only 40, and not likely to make it to senior citizenship, although he's gotten back to touring. Stopped again though, due to cancer. Dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a couple of his albums "See The Light" and "Hell To Pay". haven't listened to them in quite a while though. might dig them out tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCAlum2000 42 Posted March 14, 2008 Here are some names I thought up. But it seems the people you most expect to die end up surviving and living (they have the will to survive). Britney Spears - Honestly, I thought she was gonna off herself. Her career appears to be in the doldrums, she'd lost custody of her two children, and she's displayed an extreme recklessness. Yet, she appears to have slowly rebounded. Her career is back on track (she's got a guest starring role in a TV show), her music is back with new videos, and she appears to be slowly resurrecting myself. I had Britney Spears on my list of candidates who are most likely to die either by suicide or drug overdose. Jan-Michael Vincent - He's in terrible shape. This is a video I found of him last year. However, he appears to be trying to survive. i thought he'd kick the bucket by now, especially considering how terrible shape he's in. Guess he's hanging tough. Charlton Heston - Suffering from Alzheimer's. People predicted he'd be dead by now. Fidel Castro - Why won't he die? Kirk Douglas Paul Newman Ernest Borgnine John Wooden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 16, 2008 Mikey Dread remains 'hopeful'. And less than a week later, he remains dead. Now will he get an obit suitable for the DDP? If so a certain someone by the name of "The Living End" becomes the new scoreboard leader... Will clean up the old names on the main list right away, hopefully add the new ones soon.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted March 16, 2008 When you hear 'hopeful' it encourages one to think the show down might be in a couple of months, not days. I guess time waits for no one. Mikey Dread is pronounced dead and there is no sign on an obituary yet. I was skeptical of his condition and fame status which is why I didn't list him. Overall, it wouldn't shock me if he didn't receive the obituary. Then again, sources are unpredictable. Only the 'Jamaica Observer' the same source which reported him 'hopeful' has announced his demise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should get one. He worked with the Clash. Guardian probably. I considered him but had no concrete info on the seriousness of his tumour, so left him out. So well done to whoever picked him and particularly Living End, who is finally fulfilling his potential on the death-picking front. My reign at the top is soon to be over...

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted March 17, 2008 He will get an obit, probably all major broadsheets. 'Dread at the Controls' was a big album and The Clash connection was fairly important at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted March 17, 2008 Deffo obit, Paul Fox of The Ruts got one in The Guardian and all he did was redefine rock guitar styles a little bit. Mikey Dread has contributed to groundbreaking work that is still rated today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Night Of The Undread Posted March 17, 2008 Yeah, Mikey Dread will definitely get an obituary of the kind suitable for the scoring of DDP points etc. to those who selected him. Anybody else want to chip in with their affirmative opinion that Mikey Dread will get an appropriate obit? I don't think we've got enough premature consensus on this yet.
