Bibliogryphon 8,596 Posted April 10, 2018 Today is day 100. Still difficult to tell where this year is going. Currently level with last year's record breaking performance but the three years that reached 14 hits behind 2008, Level with 2003 ahead of 2015. I think we need a hit in the next month. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, well...discussions of Ms Bracknell's current online inactivity may oblige us there, eh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree completely. Difficult to say yet if this year is gonna be a record breaking or a "bad" year with just a few deaths more on the list... personally I think the score will be around 12-13 deaths...

Joey Russ 7,118 Posted April 10, 2018 Brackers has been notably silent. So has Stirling Moss and Herman Wouk. McCain, while still active on Twitter, has not given an update on his health in recent days. And I get the feeling that Bob Dole and Stan Lee aren’t really doing too well health wise. So there’s a lot of potential hits in the future, but it could easily be one of the weaker years for the deathlist. Or it could be stronger (as two of their three hits could be considered gambles)... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So. It could be a weak year or alternatively a strong one. I.e. a gamble which could go either way, so......... the same as any other year then.

DeathClock 378 Posted April 16, 2018 It looks like 2018 will have huge name deaths. We already lost Billy Graham and Stephan Hawking. Barbara Bush, John McCain, Pope Benedict seems to be all locks to go as well. People like George Bush, and Kirk Douglas could easily go as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,200 Posted April 16, 2018 Went through it yesterday. 15 deaths still sounds good. The Bushes, McCain, Bracknell, Jowell, Moss, Dole, Wouk - that's 11. Stirling Moss in bad health, Jill Gascoine in late-stage Alzheimer's, plus a few random deaths - Douglas? Norden? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,200 Posted April 16, 2018 No, a mistake... probably because I consider Moss to be right on the frontier between "very likely" and "a lock". So I had him sort of twice on my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 8,596 Posted April 17, 2018 The worst performance in recent years was 2011 when we had 7 hits so I think there are many more to come. The latest that the fourth death has come in the last five years is day 176 which is 25th June 2014 and we had 10 hits that year. No need for panic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,201 Posted April 18, 2018 Taken in the context of the sad passing of Barbara Bush I have a feeling we are going to have a glut or series of deaths quite close together. In particular the now widower George Bush SNR. But also a few seem like they could be imminent like Leah Bracknell, John McCain and Herman Wouk. That's without mentioning the ever present possibility of a 'surprise' death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 8,596 Posted April 18, 2018 On my graph I have eight previous year's data. At the moment 2018 is laying in the middle 4 above and 4 below. If that is to continue the next window for death is between 29th May and 7th June. We are still ahead of record breaking 2017. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,246 Posted April 21, 2018 I've just realised this is only the 3rd year in deathlist history that there have been hits in each of the first 4 months,the other years being 1994 and 2013.Could this be significant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
