Deathlist 2011

[Phantom 2,533]

Here's a list that "researchers" might be interested in. Some of the people mentioned might have recovered or died. Others might not get UK obits and I've completely forgotten who some of them are. Anyway, at some point in the past, I've considered them all for deadpools.

 

To the person who joined DL especially to send me fan mail , this is for you:

 

[snip]

Mick Cocks

[snip]

 

 

Scrub Mick Cocks (ooer missus, sounds painful).

Maybe Rose Tattoo should have their own thread - that's four dead in the past four years and five all together ... all from cancer. Watch out, Angry.

 

He could have fought on for another 10 days. oh well that's another one pencilled in for next year that I need to cross off

[Estuarian Float 97]

I think I made three unique suggestions, so I'll address those...

 

Ethan Zohn -has been reported recently that he is doing better and that his cancer has been "vaporized."

 

Jenn Lyon -Sadly to say, she is a safe bet unless youre looking for a British obit.

 

Gloria Stuart -As I said before, she turns 100 in 2010, so I thought it would be too ironic to miss, playing 100 year-old Rose in 'Titanic.' That's why she's in my 2010 DDP.

 

Cant wait to play DDP for the first time, and maninblack, I'm sure you'll do a great job taking over. I've entered myself as "Star Dust."

[harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689]

Here's how it goes down. The committee will meet, as usual, at the ********* pub in ******** on or about the 31st December 2009. At least two of them will be DL semi-regulars. They will pick 50 most worthy names, and I am assured that CP's recent excellent summation will be of valuable use. I have it on good authority that Mr Ballesteros will be absent from the 2010 list.

 

Fuck, I've just twunted myself. (Edit: Not quite.)

[Guest Guest_vaagheid_*]

Here we go for this year. The following people and their illnesses/frailties are listed in full detail in the first post of this thread. To allow for ease of review by the DL committee, I have divided them into four categories and left only their names. More information can be found in the first post. Anyone's free to yell and scream at me to move people around, as it's all very subjective. Also, "questionable fame" does not mean that I think the person isn't "famous". Rather, it corresponds to whether or not I think the person will get a proper UK obit.

 

list.....

 

 

Canadian Paul, I am currently adjusting/changing the names on my list. The one that sticks out is the oldest name on my DDP, Louise Bourgeois, I really like to make room on my list but just can't drop her unless I am surden that she has a good chance of making it till 2011. Could you or one of the other specialists here (DevonDeathTrip, Maryportfuncity, Rotten Ali ......) please tell me what her chances are.

 

 

Sorry, that Im didn't log in. I am nearing the 500 posts and wanted to save that one atleast till the end of the year.

Haven't a clue on her chances, she's very old but that's about the sum of knowledge re the threats to her life. Obit-assured given the body of work and long time achievements in her field.

 

I'm also holding back a post, I think I'll wait for post 10,000 to confess to being an Anglican archbishop.

How about the Duke of Roxburghe, Guy Innes-Ker.

He is very rich, a friend of Prince Andrew, and has cancer of the oesophagus.

ok. maybe not. I was going by what Coby Archa said about her cancer.

[chicago103 41]

I suggest that we keep Betty Ford (the late former President Gerald Ford's wife) even though there has been virtually no real news about here in three years since her husband's funeral. The fact that there is so little news could be a sign, even when she turned 90 there was no significant news, not even after doing a google search. She is now 91 and will turn 92 this coming April. There is no indication she has communicated with the President of First Lady Obama even though even the nearly as old Nancy Reagan has. If anything we should take Nancy Reagan off the list in order to keep Betty Ford on it, I think Nancy Reagan will be around a few more years. Betty Ford will die before any other US President or First Lady.

 

Other US political nominations:

 

Strongly reccomend

 

Rober Byrd: 92 year old senator from West Virginia has had a staph infection this past year, has been seen in a wheelchair alot and the death of his close friend Ted Kennedy couldnt have been good for him. At Obama's innauguation luncheon he also collapsed shortly after Ted Kennedy did.

 

Wild card, somewhat reccomend

 

George H.W. Bush: 85 year old former president and father to George W Bush; on one hand he skydived on his 85th birthday on June 12th and looked good but on the other hand in late August he was the only former President to be absent from Ted Kennedy's funeral with little explanation besides some media sources citing mobility or health problems and the feeling that George W Bush can represent the Bush famiy.

I'd wildcard Byrd. I'd go Carter before Bush (old). Bush is still jumping out of planes...Carter is apologizing to Isreal. Advantage Bush SR.

[Guest Anonymous]

I'd also consider either Robert Mugabe or (more likely) Morgan Tsvarangai (Sp?). There just isn't room for both of them in Zimbabwe government, and while Mugabe is probably the more likely to "off" his counterpart, Mugabe is quite old in a country not famous for life expectancy.

For reference, two days short of a year from the last list:

10 of 29 (Birch, Hopper, Eunice and Edward Kennedy, Novak, Pavle, Richard, Robson, Swayze, Tsien) from Famous Enough and Sick Enough are dead and all got suitable DDP/DL obits.

 

12 of 115 (Blackham, Dean, Fawcett, Ginzburg, Goody, Ludovic Kennedy, Levi-Strauss, Llewellyn, Mortimer, Roberts, Sundaravej, Upward) from Famous Enough but Risky are dead. I believe that all got suitable DDP/DL obits... not sure about Blackham...

 

6 of 35 (Atkins, Dunne, Ejercito, Frenzel, Krulak, Xianlin) from Questionable Fame but Sick Enough are dead. Frenzel was already long dead, which speaks to his fame, and I think that of the others, only Atkins and Dunne got the obits.

 

7 of 44 (Ayala, Clijsters, Keel, Knoxall, Seals, Sutton, Triola) from Questionable Fame and Risky are dead. I think about half got obits... Knoxall certainly did not.

 

So with all that, here's my analysis for next year:

Ronnie Biggs is a must... legacy. Hawking is probably, unfortunately, not long for survival. Even minor illnesses could trigger serious and complex consequences unknown in a healthy body. Ariel Sharon has already been claimed as dead several years ago and is ineligible. Demjanjuk (too many j's for my liking) seems includable. No more Roddy Pipers please.... and I hope on a related note, you never included Exotic Adrian Street when he was fighting throat cancer. I can't really go through the whole list... Fidel Castro is an interesting animal in that a relapse of his 2009 condition could kill him, but absent that, he's a pretty solid guy. Still, the vulgar tagline might be worth including him. Nancy Reagan just doesn't seem quite likely although both her and Betty Ford (and Barbara Bush) are on the horizon. They fall, at least to me, into the "wildcard" area - certainly considerable, but probably not expected. Definitely - I think they caught Seve's cancer in time, so he should not receive the deathlist curse. Of course not the Pope (unless crazy people keep knocking him around like a pinball machine)...As mentioned in another post, Mugabe and Tsvangarai both deserve consideration. And, of course, Mandela. Mugabe and Mandela have achieved extreme ages in regions where life expectancy is not very high, and Tsvangarai is a political target. Also - and I forget the name... what about the former "White" leader in South Africa? Is he still alive?

 

Regarding the one who "beat" pancreatic cancer. You don't beat pancreatic cancer - I lost my mother to it. Put her on, although I pray that I am wrong.

 

Betty Ford and Nancy Reagan... potential victims every year due to the stress of losing and missing a spouse in old age. Nancy lost Ron many years before due to Alzheimer's and its tragic effects, but when you put yourself in their emotional shoes, you know how much courage it takes for them to carry on.

 

Anyway - Merry Belated Christmas and a great new year!

[Guest Florian]

Willem de Klerk was the white leader you might be referring to. He is only 73 and no news of his health declining have been published lately.

A very small proportion of people do survive the illness. Candye Kane, Colin Friels, Ronnie Hawkins and Marilyn Horne are still here and cancer free. The jury is probably still out of Steve Jobs' eligibility to join this rather elite club.
