Useless info: His death brings David Butler onto the 4th row of names living from 1924 on my stupidly long Word Doc.

[Ulitzer95 11,053]

More useless info: His death means 30/630 of the MPs from the 1964 Parliament are still with us.

Former deputy secretary of defense for Bill Clinton John P White has died aged 80.

Sir David Robert Ford, British Chief Secretary of Hong Kong (1986-1993), has died aged 82. He was the last non-ethnic Chinese to hold the post. The surviving holders of the post are Sir David Akers-Jones (age 90), who also served as acting Governor and Anson Chan (age 77), who also served as the first Chief Secretary following handover to China.

Also when it was caught - early enough and she could be perfectly fine for a couple of years.

[Joey Russ 7,119]

She's definitely a DDP cert for next year then. Didn't a former US cabinet member suffer from terminal cancer about ten years ago and was a hit for some teams but didn't make the deathlist that year?

Do you mean the UK?Mo Mowlam died from brain cancer in 2005.

[msc 17,762]

Mo Mowlam kept her terminal diagnosis secret, but I suspect modern Deathlisters would have spotted it.
