James Randi Peter Sallis Clive James Duke of Edinburgh Jimmy Carter Henry Kissinger Tommy Chong Fidel Castro Lester Piggott Jake LaMotta John Noakes Stan Lee None of these people will die in 2017. That's a bold claim for a dozen people that are almost all nonagenarians or cancer sufferers (and some might fit in both categories). If I were a member of the honourable committee, I'd struggle to drop the likes of Castro or the Greek Prince. Yes, they are not known to suffer from terminal illness, but either of them would be too big a name to miss. The same is true for Carter with the bonus that his cancer could return and kill him any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
