Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 9, 2017 Update on DDP and Deathrace pick Alan Aspin, who is surprising his doctors by still being alive: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/prisoner-sent-home-die-after-12430897 The announcement that he had "days to live" was not because of the cancer but because of septicaemia after the tumour burst. It seems Alan Aspin has died off the radar, possibly? Pretty sure he died last Friday due to Facebook comments. Don't think he'll obit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 9, 2017 Yeah, that looks like a List of the Lost-er unless there's a big to-do about healthcare in the prison service later this year and his name gets dragged back up. On a similar note, Facebook posts seem to suggest Lisa Magill probably won't make it another week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted February 9, 2017 Re Aspin Is the link below all there is? Because, frankly, that'd fail to score on Deathrace. Glad I gave him a wide berth. https://en-us.fievent.com/e/alan-aspin-s-benefit-do/6899738 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,438 Posted February 9, 2017 Well, he might get local news after his funeral or this benefit do. On another note, no one did pick Pan Breed shortlister Dan13ll3 K3mp (the one even I didn't think I was enough of a cunt to pick)- her immunotherapy has resulted in extreme tumour necrosis, and it's stopped growing. She's not out of the woods by a long way, but I do genuinely wish her all the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if, someone like that presented themselves in the hours before the two Deathlist Cup finalists had to submit teams? That'd rev up the crowd a bit.

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 21, 2017 At least Bracknell is ripped off her tits enough to be entertaining on occasion has a flair for the magical in her prose. Magill reads like someone gave the lass who writes the office newsletter five Proplus and let her get on with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,725 Posted February 21, 2017 Still a hell of a lot to write if she is about to die - she might make start of March? The only issue she seems to have is an inability to write words without starting them with a 'schm..' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted February 21, 2017 Yeah, that Lisa Magill. Every week, she makes a blog where it seems she's in her final days. Then a couple days later she's happy and energetic as can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 27, 2017 So BeMoreJay changes to NoMoreJay when it comes to Mr Clark, Seemed a sound enough lad and easily the guiltiest I've felt about a DDP pick since Marlise Munoz. Not too much of a stretch to say him gaining an obit could be one of the biggest gamechangers in this year's contest though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted February 27, 2017 The Telegraph have done a feature on terminally ill fundraising campanologist Julie McDonnell. I really hope her account of palliative care services is the exception rather than the norm. Quote Last December, Julie McDonnell received a knock at the door of her Hastings home. It was a man; friendly in a brusque, bureaucratic sort of way and with a checklist to complete. “He said he wanted to take a look at my living arrangements before I went into a hospice,” the 49-year-old says. “We didn’t know anything about it at all. Apparently it was some NHS computer somewhere saying that I was about to die.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,438 Posted February 27, 2017 My grandfather only twigged he was dying when the home care team left a book about coping with terminal illness on his coffee table. "How'd you take it?" "Quite well. Just one or two whisky's to calm the nerves..." "But you've got liver cancer!" "Yeah, and I'm fucking dying anyway!" Died the same week as George Melly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 4, 2017 Quote Since my last update Lisa's health has continued to deteriorate. We were advised yesterday morning that anyone wanting to say goodbye to Lisa should do so within the next couple of days and we immediately informed our friends and family. A quote from the latest post on her Facebook page by her mom. It looks like she has less than a week left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
