An insider says that she's currently "comfortable at home", so it looks like she's out of the hospital, but "recovery is not looking likely".

Why did the committee put Linda Nolan on  this years list instead of her?

To be honest, i found their choices for this year deathlist quite risky : there are some good picks but some other relevant celebrities should have been here

Take a wild guess what she'll be saying at the pearly gates to George Michael...

Maybe she can last a little longer, like, another 141 days or so...

Sounds like a return of pancreatic cancer? (Confirming that she actually had it, if true)

I'd guess so. She always denied having it, though I'm sure one of her publicists recently mentioned her having fought pancreatic cancer in 2010.

I think that article is repeating what we already know, just with a different headline.

TMZ, did you really have to spoil the fun of the sweepstakes by telling us when she’s going to die?

If they'd like to spoil the results of my 2019 shortlist on December 31st, that'll do me.

That's cool, all the DP Admins can get a jump on divvying points.  May as well mark today as the official date then.

So I guess that means she’s most likely safe for the day then. It won’t be long for her demise to happen though...

Very sad, but not expected. She's apparently in hospice, but as with Barbara Bush, just because you're in hospice doesn't necessarily indicate a long, drawn out battle. I wonder if she's been in hospice for a while, or just recently.

When she passes, it'll easily be the biggest musical passing since Whitney or even Michael. It'll be a sad moment, especially for all of her fans like myself.

Appears to have just happened.  And, to be specific, it's home hospice care.  You're correct, it doesn't necessarily indicate a long battle.  In fact, this last stage looks like it won't last long at all.
