I had 12 and had to cut two. Knowing my luck those two will be the only ones who die. I didn't read anyone elses lists yet as I'll get too confused and overwhelmed with choice.
Good morning my lovely deathpoolers, may I present my 2024 list and here’s to more points than last year cause it took me till last day of November to get some
1. Shannon Doherty
2. Linda Nolan
3. Amy Dowden (Strictly Dancer)
4. Vince McMahon
5. Michael Schumacher
6. Jonnie Irwin
7. Lewis Capaldi (27 club potential)
8. Bruce Willis
9. Julio Iglesias
10. Michael Flatley
Several people mentioned who I thought were already dead
My list, with reasons for fame, comments, ages and meaningless bonus guesses for cause of death (let me tell you in excessive detail, as a thread title once put it...):
1 - Shannon Doherty - Actress - 52 - Terminal cancer - based on what she's said, I think she's not got long, sadly.
2 - Dennis Skinner - Retired politician - 91 - Dementia / cancer - was very ill even as far back as the election in 2019.
3 - Conor Oberst - Emo singer - 43 - alcohol related - I'll be really quite sad if this happens, but he's been a mess for several years.
4 - Willie Mays - former baseball player - 92 - old age - he's just old, so it's a reasonable guess.
5 - Delia Smith - Cook / football club chairperson - 82 - old age - she's seemingly disappeared from the spotlight recently. Don't think it's been mentioned that she's specifically ill though.
6 - Jerry Lawler - Wrestler / commentator - 74 - heart problems - already very lucky to not die live on TV of a heart attack once. Next time he might not be so lucky.
7 - Jisoo (Kim Ji-soo) - K Pop singer - 29¹ - suicide - K Pop is notoriously bad for people's mental health, and those involved taking their own life is sadly common.
8 - Kris Kristofferson - Country singer - 87 - dementia / heart issues - has had various health issues for a while.
9 - Paul Gascoigne - footballer / drinker - 56 - alcohol related - much like Shane McGowan, seems to have survived much longer than anyone thought he might.
10 - Roger Staubach - former NFL player - 81 - old age - chosen solely because I wanted to choose someone that I share a birthday with, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Billy Sharp are a bit young
If anyone dies before January, replace them with the person in the equivalent position on this list:
Sophie Turner
Tony Blair
Phoebe Bridgers David Wright (baseball)
Nigella Lawson²
Lita (Amy Dumas)
Justin Bieber Ian Noe
Wayne Rooney
Aaron Rogers
You'll note that the Replacements are thematically appropriate to who they'd be replacing.
¹well, she turns 29 on January 3rd, so effectively.
The Pope
Louis Theroux
Dolly Parton
Julie Walters
Norma Major (has her own Wiki page not an adjacent)
Arsene Wenger
Ian Botham
Martina Navratilova
Miriam Margolyes
Joe Biden
Well this was difficult! I originally had a lot of over 80s but going bigger instead and restricting myself to one.
Amy Dowden (I don't want her to die even though she's a lot of points but being on the list is probably her best chance of immortality!)
Bizarre (I need a not as well known but has a wiki page rapper because they've been dropping like flies in 2023)
Chris Evans (ginger assuming I’m not allowed to hedge my bets on which)
David Van Day (just for the hilarity)
Demi Lovato
Julie Walters
Liam Payne
Salman Rushdie
Shannon Doherty
Tom Baker
1. Dick Van Dyke
2. Willie Nelson
3. Bill Roach
4. Celine Dion
5. Clint Eastwood
6. Jimmy Carter
7. Jane Fonda
8. Kevin Spacey
9. Michael J Fox
10. Paris Jackson
Quite a few oldies, but that’s a sure way to get points…right? I’ll be fewmin hun if those chopped from my list decide this is the year to pop over to the other side.
Maggie Smith
Jonnie Irwin
Liza Minnelli
Michael Aspel
Ozzy Osbourne
Michael J. Fox
Shannon Doherty
Michael Flatley
