And my 3rd hit too.

[Torva Messor 280]

The New York Times has a qualifying obituary for Bernard Ebbers, certifying my fifth hit in a frenetic culling of notables.

...and my third!

[chilean way 1,900]

Kirk Douglas is my second hit

[gcreptile 10,979]

Update time:

 

New Hits are the very popular Kirk Douglas, John Andretti and Daniel Arap Moi. There were also Bernard Ebbers and Jhon Jairo Velasquez.

Lucien Barbarin and Thuy Thanh Truong seem to have missed a QO.

A familiar name back on top :). But the scoreboard is basically thrown into chaos with each additional death.

[chilean way 1,900]

Mubarak is my third hit

[ThePrematureBurial 224]

I forgot to put Mubarak & Yazov on my lists & now they're dead. 

 

Diana Serra Cary's passing, however will bring me 18 points. The last star of the silent era. Imagine!

[gcreptile 10,979]

Let's do another update after last week's flurry of hits...

 

New hits are: Hosni Mubarak, Pearl Carr, Diana Serra Cary, Sonny Franzese and Katherine Johnson. All of them picked here and there...

My pick Pete Felton is likely not going to get a QO, unless his chemo pal Reice Reilly aka "Patient Zero" delivers an indirect QO (he's still alive and posted a Pete Felton picture just last week).

Ironically, the most popular name of all the relevant ones for this update, Henry Gray, is also missing a QO. One would have suspected that NYT obit at least...

 

I hope I didn't miss anything - if so, inform me.

The new scoreboard looks like this:

Ah yes, thanks very much! I had a wrong birthdate for Nicholas Parsons. Leaderboard adjusted.

[chilean way 1,900]

Javier Perez de Cuellar is another hit for me

[chilean way 1,900]

P-Orridge is my fifth hit in here, and if I'm not wrong I should have 138 points

[gcreptile 10,979]

Update after my holiday...

 

Hits are the almost universally picked Genesis P-Orridge, our beloved Javier Perez De Cuellar and Henri RIchard. The latter was a hit for two people, including Banana, who advances to the nr. 2 slot:

[ThePrematureBurial 224]

I just read that Suzy Delair (born 1917) died. I have her on my list.

 

I realize that there are more important things to consider right now, when everybody's life is in danger. (Even ours).

 

I hope that everybody on deathlist survives these dark days.

She doesn't have any DDP-acceptable (or NYT) obits yet. I feel that the Laurel and Hardy connection will be enough for a broadsheet obit down the line, but that takes time.

Suzy Delair claims her NYT Obit: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/movies/suzy-delair-dead.html

[gcreptile 10,979]

Thanks, that's 3 new hits so far. Anton Coppola also got a NYT obit, plus Martino Sclavi. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday.

[YoungWillz 21,066]

Kenny Rogers is my 4th hit here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51986611

 

[gcreptile 10,979]

4 hits, okay, that's an update... also, there's nothing else to do.

 

New hits: Kenny Rogers, Anton Coppola, Suzy Delair and Martino Sclavi, who puts me back into pole position.

[markb4 902]

Albert Uderzo is a hit for me.

[markb4 902]

Honor Blackman is also a hit for me and others.

[gcreptile 10,979]

It does seem to be a more quiet update - but maybe I have missed something in this age of Corona. If so, tell me.

 

New hits are: Albert Uderzo, Honor Blackman and William Frankland.

Ignacio Trelles could be a unique hit for Sir Creep, but hasn't received a QO so far.
