Sean 6,330 Posted January 5, 2016 Ok first two hits are in :Robert Stigwood which gives youwanticewiththat 34 points but Devon Death trip has stolen the show by picking 20 year old Aden Hailu who died whilst on life support.As she was his joker he has a whopping 180- points (and yes I did check reports from last year to validate her year of birth as 1995) so congratulations.Now we have had our first hits I am definitely cutting off new entries although I don`t think it would give you an advantage in this game,I just can`t deal with any more entries.So that really is it now! I am going to be very busy for next 10 days or so with work so rest assured if I don`t respond on here I haven`t joined the great big dead pool in the sky I am just going to be rushed off my feet and therefore unable to update the scoreboard as much as I would like.

Sean 6,330 Posted January 5, 2016 The Aden Hailu Daily Mail article qualifies as it is a sub title outside the main article.Also when you google her name the Daily Mail article title has her name in it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3385800/Woman-Reno-hospital-end-life-case-dies-life-support.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted January 7, 2016 Let's see if I get points for Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros. The Deathrace would have been better place for him, but I submitted one day too soon.
