Deathlist 2011

[Godot 149]

Lena Horne - singer, who no longer makes public appearances, turns 93 this year.

 

Lena Horne has died.

Information six hours later than VSBfromH had it in the correct thread. This makes you the current holder of the DL mormon underpants award for worthless contributions.

 

[The Unknown Man 587]

Ronnie James Dio - Badass rocker, currently fighting stomach cancer. Has a decent chance of surviving, but certainly not out of danger yet.

 

Ronnie James Dio died from stomach cancer on May 16, 2010. His name should be removed from the list as well, along with Dennis Hopper & Lena Horne.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,359]

Angus Douglas-Hamilton, 15th Duke of Hamilton - Sufferer of vascular dementia and requiring 24-hour care.

 

Now dead and requiring 24-hour refrigeration.

[888-333 12]

Hopper, Dio & Wirtz are All Dead

[Cowboy Ronnie 78]

One of the BP villains - Tony Hayward or that old Swedish guy who's based on the baddie from The Spy Who Loved Me. Topping themselves out of guilt, or killed in some sort of karmically-justified drowning. Or blown up in an oil rig inferno.

Gene Colan - American comic book artist, dying of liver failure.

 

His liver seems to be taking rather a long time to give up the ghost. He's still active enough to have just broken his shoulder.

 

Some interesting developments. Gene Colan's shoulder was actually broken after he was attacked by his mentally ill wife, Adrienne Colan. He left her after the assault and she was placed in psychiatric care after a "self harm incident". Adrienne Colan was found dead at her home today, which "isn't a great surprise" to those who were close to her...

[The Unknown Man 587]

Hello!

 

Was looking through this list the other day, and in doing some research earlier, found that:

 

"Algirdas Brazauskas - Former Lithuanian President and Prime Minister, diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in December 2008 and remains very unhealthy."

 

Died in June.

 

Also you have Dennis Hopper and Ronnie Dio still on the list. I think there was another few but I can't remember, but I shall mention if I stumble across them.

 

 

Keep up the good effort, Canadian Paul!

Hey, thanks! I was completely unaware that all those people had died, so now I've gone ahead and removed them. Just to keep you on your toes, though, I inserted someone who was already dead into the list. See if you can find him (or her... hmm...)!

[The Unknown Man 587]

Lena Horne and George Steinbrenner are also dead. Their names should be deleted as well.

Not difficult... best now take Alex Higgins out of your list for a second time!

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but toy sculptor Edward Wires died a few weeks ago. He sculpted a lot of ToyBiz's Marvel Legends figures.

Looks like Andy Kershaw might have recovered enough to be off our radar. That new series will take him well away from his former partner, and trouble.
