Scott Putesky is a hit for me on two off-DL lists, one for ca$h, pending verifications from admins. But I am so far behind the person ranked immediately above me, not even Scott Putesky's passing will let me climb up the standings. I'm running to stay in place.

Joey Russ 7,234 Posted October 24, 2017 I just discovered that one of my potential obit punts for next year, Matt Bencke, who was the cofounder of Mighty AI, has died from pancreatic cancer aged 45. I considered risking him next year due to a mention from the Financial Times, though with 5 days from his death, there doesn’t seem to be an QO obit in sight for him...

I first noticed it when some Australian olympic swimmer died a couple of weeks ago. I mean, there is a reason they also have the "swam" in the title. The previous article told of some 13-year-old swimmer having died of a heart attack: https://swimswam.com/brazilian-age-group-swimmer-suffers-heart-attack-practice/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is an author and got covered by almost every QO yielding outift this year. Edit: Weird deadpooling connection part 1345. The Times article about her mentions her solace in open-water swimming: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/swim-author-takes-plunge-into-film-q2wtwpwdk I wonder if she ever met Monte Monfore.
