CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted September 12, 2020 I can't believe I'm having to say this but I am now starting to doubt whether we will have any more hits this year.If we do it will probably be just one or 2 so if we're lucky w e might end the year on 14 hits. The grim reaper was fooling us with all these early hits ! A total of 14 would be pretty poor for the year of corona virus ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted September 19, 2020 I was convinced or rather somehow persuaded myself that Ruth Bader Ginsburg would make it through this year but alas it was not to be. What a dramatic and eventful year. Only a day or two ago a poster was expressing 'concern ' if that is the right word that there would no second September death and 2020 would fall behind the record year of 2017. Well the enema phenomenon has put paid to that. I'm going to cautiously predict that there will be a third deathlist ' hit in September. But If I am wrong prepare for some October surprises and not just of the US election variety..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruth might well be death of the year in terms of it’s effect on world affairs - Only Trump or Biden expiring would top it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that she is on this years deathlist but I personally thought it possibly significant that Raquel Welch didn't seem to put anything up for her 80th birthday last month. At least last time I looked. There could be a number of explanations for that including vanity but It struck me as noteworthy. Her younger sister died earlier this year .So whilst Raquels mother lived until her nineties its not necessarily a case of like mother like daughter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can definitely sense something starting to move and shift on manoeuvre towards the exit! Either a name on this years list or a big name that has previously been on the list like Pope Benedict, Joni Mitchell, Tina Turner, Barbara Walters, James Randi etc or one of the small number of significant names mentioned on here regularly like Glynis Johns or Clarissa Eden who has never ascended to the list. Enemas require a patient outlook. Seems like the enema has struck again, eh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here are the number of folk shortlisted (as in notable enough for a mention) by August 3rd on each year since 2014 (earlier stats lost to time...) 3rd August 2014 - 231 names 3rd August 2015 - 267 names 3rd August 2016 - 329 names 3rd August 2017 - 408 names 3rd August 2018 - 433 names 3rd August 2019 - 435 names 3rd August 2020 - 510 names (John Hume being the 510th) Even by the normal rising standards (because more boomers are getting older), 2020 is running ahead of schedule. Just to come back to this for you, @Gooseberry Crumble, how those numbers look today. 29th October 2014 - 321 names (of 394 total) 29th October 2015 - 358 names (of 425 total) 29th October 2016 - 428 names (of 527 total) 29th October 2017 - 577 names (of 716 total) 29th October 2018 - 578 names (of 682 total) 29th October 2019 - 567 names (of 665 total) 29th October 2020 - 683 names (Tracy Smothers being 683rd) Although I've still not forgiven this enema for the whole Diana Rigg thing... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great research thank you! That will hopefully soon be 684 when Alan Stephenson Boyd gets a qualifying obituary as a unique 'hit' for me. Those numbers are staggering and although there are only two months to go I think we can expect, when we take into account the time of year and covid and its direct and indirect effects, that figure to top 800 by the end of the year. That is my prediction anyway. Just realised earlier that Covid has broken up or taken away one half of two legendary British comedy double acts. Eddie Large of Little and Large and Bobby Ball of Cannon and Ball. Very sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
