Rumours abound that Huston Smith, popular pick for some, has died. https://twitter.com/Jenny_Butler_/status/815021917354729472 and

https://www.facebook.com/drshaminijain/posts/1809291149351352

 

Awaiting a more definite news story.

 

Apologies in advance if this turns out not be correct, but forewarned is forearmed...

 

 

Aye, in lieu of confirmation he's down as a DNS on the Deathrace (meaning S-o-t-D's team are fielding their third sub since entering)

 

 

This blog entry seems to confirm it. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/monkeymind/2016/12/huston-smith-lovely-book-meditation-naturalistic-perennialism.html

 

Sadly, still awaiting a news source to award points in the Hare's Pool.

New York Times obit: http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/01/us/huston-smith-author-of-the-worlds-religions-dies-at-97.html

 

Hopefully a UK obit will now follow for DDP points

Less than 6 hours left get an obit and DDP 2016's 276th hit...

On twitter, Julie Bindel says that Jill Saward (anti-rape campaigner) is very ill...I guess that means something.

If true you'd expect her to get at least a Guardian obit.

As of a few minutes ago she was still alive on Wikipedia; though I did notice that we missed her dad's death a couple of years back;

I swear whoever writes BBC Obits browses our site.

[Ulitzer95 10,947]

Probably.

[Deathray 2,933]

Probably.

 

Well if they are - I'm willing to do some freelance writing for them. I can be contacted by PM.

 

In addition your editor needs kicked up the arse; which of these is a more apt or accurate headline

 

"Ealing vicarage rape victim Jill Saward dies"

"Anti-sexual assault campaigner Jill Saward dies"

[Deathray 2,933]

And to update the top article on the BBC is now entitled "How Jill Saward changed the lives of assualt victims."

 

They're definitely browsing this site.

I'm fairly sure they do and are probably members as well. They'd be daft not to as where else can you find the fruits of dozens of people researching who is likely to need an obit in the near future? Not many places on the web death researchers share leads I would think.

Im not sure the BBC is quite ready for your 'How to choose the correct sock to wank into' just yet.

Give it time tho.

Found the BBC Obit Editor. Nick Serpell. He's on Twitter.... Nick, if you are reading, Deathray wants a job.

I don't know some of the rubbish described as news in their newsbeat section could be easily outclassed by such an article.

This thread needs a Handy post.

Something rather distasteful, unpleasant or down right 'Whhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaat' that she has heard or read about.

Rumours that Nicodemo Scarfo, member of American Mafia and mob boss, has died aged 87. I can only see one source, however, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

If that's true, then some competing teams will already have an advantage over us.

Think it's true, but I will still wait for full confirmation before posting anywhere else.

 

Edit: Confirmed

Has Bashar al-Assad had a stroke? Perhaps, according to some sources.
