Not sure how reliable the link is, but it's being reported that Scott Putesky/Daisy Berkowitz has died: https://www.sacurrent.com/sa-sound/archives/2017/10/22/founding-marilyn-manson-band-member-has-died

 

After checking, it seems to be true...

This good enough for confirmation? http://www.moshville.co.uk/news/2017/10/rip-daisy-berkowitz-founding-member-of-marilyn-manson-1968-2017/

Damn, I think I took him off my list, this year, otherwise he was almost a hit for me. :(

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.

I took him off my list too. Although I still left him on my shadow list.

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...

Irish filmmaker Simon Fitzmaurice dies of ALS at 43:

Was currently a sub for the 2018 B-Team. I wondered if he gets a QO. He made a couple of well-regarded films and a documentary of his own health struggle.

Well if he gets a QO I will certainly go "D'oh".

Open water world record-holder and swimmer for humanitarian causes Monte Monfore dead from head injury in the water:

I have to check out this page "swimswam" some more. 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:

Oh, his wife is going to write something somewhere. 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:

I wonder if she ever met Monte Monfore.

The only "reports" I'm seeing is that it's a hoax. Why do people fall for this stuff...

It's bollocks, thankfully. He dies quite often in fake news media.
