gcreptile 10,972 Posted May 27, 2018 Last month it was decided that life support of Vincent Lambert, DDT's pick from last year (this year P@F deathlist), should be turned off. But then a doctor prevented that: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vincent-lambert-victory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted May 29, 2018 Tiffany Youngs - popular(ish) pick hereabouts - is in The Sun today crediting a radical combi of starvation diet, cannabis oil and general cleaning up of her food intake for sending her terminal cancer into remission. That said, she's saying great things and feeling good - no medical expert is quoted as saying she's better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite happy for him despite me making a poor joker choice in Death By Numbers, as he really seems like a nice person, and I hope he lives for a long while yet... EDIT: On his website, you're likely going to find a new name, though they're unlikely to obit... Not only will he be here for a while, but there’s also more people registered as bone marrow donors because of him. Hope he lives for a long time yet...

The Dead Cow 620 Posted June 5, 2018 I had in my mind that around this time Ian Toothill would have his last big chance of receiving a qualifying obit, as tomorrow will be the anniversary of him conquering Everest. Anyway, his ashes have been scattered on Ben Nevis and the BBC have an article on it, only it's under Sheffield & South Yorkshire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 5, 2018 It’s pretty unbelievable, quite frankly; and I haven’t a dog in the race. Barys Kit remains the shock of the year overall imho. Again, no dog, just an observation. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,434 Posted June 10, 2018 I've done a lot more research on Claire Wineland and I was incorrect in saying that she'd already had a lung transplant. She experienced respiratory failure when she was 13 and somehow survived against the odds. In the last 12 months her condition has rapidly deteriorated and she changed her mind on getting a lung transplant. Now she is waiting for one - hopefully she does because she seems like a great person with so much potential, but the next few months are crucial to her survival.

I think we could have the unwritten rule if the owner of said deceased person is so disinterested as to not inform someone that they have died within 30 days, points are voided.
