DeathClock 379 Posted December 30, 2019 One of the most famous and popular congressman, John Lewis, has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He is also a civil rights icon in America. I believe he is deserving to be on the list next year. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,191 Posted December 30, 2019 Hmm, let me see. UK based deathlist picks John Lewis. 90 percent of the UK goes "Daft idiots, picking a department store to die!" Sadly, it's a fact....he isn't deathlisty for UK-ers. I appreciate the US side of the argument, take it to a US deathlist.

msc 18,536 Posted December 30, 2019 I'd be surprised if Lewis made the DL itself, but as one of the 1960s civil rights leaders and a fairly notable US politician he's perfect DDP team fodder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A fairly confident dead cert, but there's no way he's D40 at this point and that leaves him at a likely 6 pts as he turns 80 in February. Idk personally I feel there's better names.

Sean 6,365 Posted December 30, 2019 And that is why I should have waited until New Year's Eve to submit my DDP entry. He is famous enough for the Deathlist.His death will make the main news bulletins. The committee have chosen quite a few US Politicians over the years so I reckon Lewis will get picked.

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted January 1, 2020 I think it’s too early. He’s on my list, mind. But no reason he can’t see 2020 out. He’s only 79. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you make it to the 29th of December so I can pick you for my DDP team (I've sent in my team way before he was diagnosed, I've also missed my oportunity to pick Chris Doleman, I've picked both in Cup and DSCDP.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
