2022 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

An amazingly random pick? I, for one, suspect “foul play”, and a possible violation of rule #7:

Blockquote 7. Any poster who kills or otherwise contributes to the death of any celebrity mentioned in this thread is disqualified. It’s just a game, people. The only exceptions to this rule would be deaths caused by those posters serving as members of the police or armed forces of any country, in the line of duty.

That said, points is points:

This from the guy with the great big lead? Ha. If there is foul play afoot I know who I suspect. When the scorekeeper is winning…

It is like Vegas, you cannot hope to beat the house.

nothing but smoke, mirrors, and “Stage 4” Google Searches

I don’t exactly remember when and why I put him on my working list but it probably was after Dez Bryant warned he was in bad shape. At this point I’m assuming CTE/TBI problems.

Are there any bamboo fibers on those electrons?

The Gerber Baby has died at 95.

It looks like Jim Seals (of Seals and Crofts fame) has died at 80. No official link yet but it appears to be true.

And another source:

He will never pass this way again.

“Shock Evangelist” Aamir Liaquat Hussain has become a former celebrity in Pakistan at even-money (50).

I would’ve guessed Seals & Croft was a department store chain or some such.

Julee Cruise has passed away according to her husband’s post on Facebook. Not seeing a MSM source yet. She would be 65.

I haven’t seen anything official, but it’s all over Twitter. And Wikipedia has already updated her entry.
