I swear I searched his name this morning to see if we had any news and wanted to ask on his thread but didn’t want to Bump unnecessarily. I almost switched my vote on the 1st death of 2025 poll in the meantime but forgot. Good riddance.

First hit of the year. Hopefully have a better result than last year

[YoungWillz 21,543]

Adieu ya old bum!

 

Bon voyage.

[DCI Frank Burnside 3,928]

What a great start the year. For the list and in general

 

 

 

Hope it's nice and warm down there Jean Marie

[Trome 147]

Wow, a great start to a promising year.

[Commtech Sio Bibble 2,251]

Always nice to get a hit and not feel bad about having picked them.

[DeadAndGone123 4]

Gone to heaven 

[The Old Crem 3,711]

Even gets the a Sun breaking news alert which I didn’t expect.

[The Red Death 90]

Damn, is the Grim Reaper ramping up his sickle after Jimmy Carter? Anyway, he's my first hit in my deadpool!

[YoungWillz 21,543]

One less to worry about in the Inverse Pool, I'm guessing.

[The Daredevil 1,225]

Position no. 5 on my shadowlist this year; last year it was Glynis (also my first success)!

[Book 3,678]

Great, he was my theme team joker.

Is that a ironically named circle of hell?

There do seem to have been some names who clung on against the odds, including Carter and Le Pen. Chomsky and Rantzen also seem to be clinging on still.

Woodward and Starmer-Smith too.

Sadly number 21 on my list (first sub), so a near miss for my DDP.

As our very own Grim Reaper put it once years ago: "Many DeathList successes bring with them some sadness, so it’s all the more pleasing when we have a success with a candidate who is generally accepted as evil."

JMLP died? Oh no! Anyway.

[Vinegar Tits 614]

Mort? *Gallic shrug*

[JR976evil 921]

Presumably Elon musk will lobby for a day of mourning 

 

[Book 3,678]

He died on January 7th, just like Beckenbauer did last year, except that he was already the DL's third hit!

And Beckenbauer was widely mourned instead, of course.

[Fantomasss 220]

I dont like to be happy when someone dies but this man was horrible, bon débarras !

And with his death it's a big page that is tuning in France because he was the last surviving prominent French political leader of the 20th century
