You can tell me what's wrong with him in the morning. Twitter thinks he's very ill. I don't know what's wrong. Twitter also told me that Gardner Dozois was very ill. So I hope for a repeat. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was an announcement made about him being close to death which led to people misinterpreting it. Still wouldn't be surprised if he dies today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,455 Posted June 1, 2018 Quote I was hoping that I would never have to post this latest news of Jon's fight to overcome his brain cancer. It comes from Ana: "We have been told there is no hope for my dad now and it will be just a matter of days. He will be moved to our local hospice as soon as possible. At the moment he is not receiving any treatment or food - he is in a peaceful state and gradually drifting away." I know that you were all hoping the the promising 'response' signs were signalling recovery, but sadly, it was not to be. He will greatly missed by so many who had occasion to meet him...if even if only briefly. At least we know that he is not suffering any pain.

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted June 1, 2018 I found a lot more comments on his death on Facebook. Seems like it could be true, though he might also be still alive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted June 1, 2018 I think there are some other strong picks as well. Matt Cappotelli - Ended all possible treatment, and truthfully I am surprised to see him going. Thought he’d be dead now. Colin Butts - Reportedly in hospice. While I’m not sure he’s that far along, he definitely seems to be in a much worse place than last year. Meng Lang - Being a Chinese dissident fighting terminal cancer, it’s not really a good combo to have healthwise. Bertie McMinn - Twitter chatter is saying he’s very ill, and it sounds very serious. Right, so that will be Loongkoonan and Olivia de Haviland dying tomorrow in spite of these seriously ill people... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted June 1, 2018 A couple of great picks. It will be over with the death reports on monday at latest. And I thought Jon Hiseman could be a sneaky unique DDP pick. So wrong on many counts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,229 Posted June 1, 2018 The only reason why I didn’t pick anyone close to death this time was because I wanted to put some more focus on my finals. If I did take this a bit more seriously, I probably would’ve either picked the Mexican journalist already mentioned a couple of times or the Swaziland Prime Minister (both said to not be in the best health right now)...

Sir Creep, circa 1am: Oh thank god, DDT didn't pick him after all. Cappotelli would have been my pick, but I also knew Sean would nab him. Really, theres a good chance 17 of 21 wont be eligible for the Advent pool. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,455 Posted June 1, 2018 There are so many strong (weak?) names in the running that 7-10 deaths within 21 days seems likely. If all of the names survive for a few days then we'll reach a point where they start dropping like flies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
