gcreptile 10,970 Posted December 16, 2020 Alright, I have now finished googling all picks this year to see if there are any hidden hits - and while I saw some previously unknown deaths, none of them got a qualifying obit. So, if you see any other hit - let me know... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,970 Posted December 17, 2020 As of right now, we are exactly on par with 2016 and we are now up to a necessary "1 death per day" to break the record of 2016. However, we do not know how many late obits, or year-end roundup obits still come. Last year we've had one, Formula 1 racer Jim Russell. I think, in 2018 we had two, those Aston Villa football players (?). I don't know how many we had in 2016.. but it's usually around 2 or so, IIRC. So we might still run a day ahead or so of 2016 - or not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Through my googling of every pick in this year's DDP, I was left with 2-3 more picks that I consider a possibility of still becoming a hit this year. Now, I did not research every single name, but with the cancer mums/dads/children, one does have to look a little harder, just to know who they are and what happened to them....

gcreptile 10,970 Posted December 20, 2020 Nice late obituaries. They fulfill the quota of getting about 2 late obits per year. However, I could also imagine one or two more non-sport people, especially the Nobel prize winners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted December 21, 2020 Ron Tauranac is still on the List of the Lost, even though he's quite rightly dead on his own entry as he got a Telegraph obit. Just needs removed. Have we no Losters since October? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just needs removed. Have we no Losters since October? Probably not, but most of them are so obscure their DDP teams haven't noticed, let alone me. Tauranac a tribute to the great 2013 DDP when Jack Pardee was LOTL and then a hit after his obit was discovered 5 months later. (That was an impressive timelapse in the pre-Belso days...)
