“When Doves Die”

Divinity, a white dove owned by the late Prince, died on Tuesday following a recent decline in health due to age.

(I’m guessing nobody had her)

Rule 3c
Picks must not be non human

I will point out that pretty much every one of those rules was written in response to an attempted pick by somebody.

You’re welcome to it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah my first thought was " That’s brilliant , there must be a whole lot of points in dead celebrity animals, how old is punxsutawney phil?"

The second was " There is no way someone hasn’t all ready tried this , better check the rules "

Christopher Plummer dead at 91.

Pro Wrestling great "Hacksaw"Butch Reed has died at 66.

Not my Hacksaw.

Sandie Crisp, AKA “Goddess Bunny”, succumbs to Covid-19 at 61.

God must have whistled for him.

Bobby Brown Jr has died at the age of 28. He was the son of Whitney Houston and brother of Bobbi Kristina Brown, both of whom also died at an early age.

Bobby Brown Jr was the son of Bobby Brown and Kim Ward (not Whitney Houston), and the half brother of Bobbi Kristina Brown, and he died in November 2020.

Darn, he was just a little too young for my list.

RIP, Mr. Plummer.

My mistake. It was one of those pop-up news articles and I didn’t check the date.

The article also mentioned his connection with Whitney Houston without making the relationship clear.

He is dead, right? Unlike some other celebrities who’ve come back to life for some period of time. :grinning:

Think of it as a sort of death echo.

Yes, if I had just stopped when I wrote “Bobby Brown Jr has died at the age of 28” I would have been able to argue my post was correct.

Kudos. I wonder if Julie Andrews had the same thought.

I had the Captain in 2018. Although I didn’t include him on my lists since then.
