Are we supposed to keep posting those who actually died in 2017 in the Dead of 2017 thread?  
I'm over it.  I go by date posted, and allow you to sift through the obit for details.

I'd say this is 2018's first legit death.  RIP

They might not right now, but for anybody using the threads as a reference later on it would be helpful to post deaths in the appropriate thread.

I already made a comment along the lines if someone thinks I’m posting in the 2017 thread they’re a loony.  Just make a notation ‘died in 2017’ in your post if you feel so compelled, that’s my suggestion.  I actually underlined ‘died on Christmas’  and still got called out, like someone couldn’t figure out that was 2017.  Smh

I understand your point.
Hey, this is honest to God true.....I JUST found a US politician who had a leukemia diagnosis in July 2016, and is stepping down from office this year (finally).  Looks like none of us discovered him or figured he wasn't worth posting.   So it being 18 months old, do I post it in "Ideas for 2017"?    (Ted Poe of TX btw).

One can always be a possibility for next year as long as they're still alive. Whereas a person can only die in one year. Hence why I locked IAPF2018 but kept Dead of 2017 open.

[Toast 16,157]

However, he could also die this year so would still qualify for IAPF2018. 

Too late for most of the deadpools, but might still come in handy.

Might be useful if there was a Deathlist Cup type thing, you know, where FFBI picks are banned.

His wings of steel did nothing to prevent death.

Aye, summat of a character - fond of a party and a pretty girl but ask a surviving band member from any act signed to Immediate Records if he knew what he was doing and you might have to stand well back as they respond. 

 

Quite likely the only man who can claim up close and personal involvement in strategies that made both The Beatles and Jive Bunny big hit acts
