Yes, and the next 2 reported deaths also show hat-wearers! A streak of 5 hats.

Looking for an official link, but apparently Tony Dow has died at 77. His family had announced he had cancer in May.
“Gee, Wally…”
TMZ is reporting it, and they usually have a good track record on breaking celebrity death news.
Nobody should collect those 23 Tony Dow points just yet.
Update: he’s not quite dead.
Actor/director William Richert, who did some thing or another, called it a wrap last week at around 20pts, or so.
Vincent Derosa, French Horn virtuoso who played backup for various artists, was first chair on numerous movie soundtracks, and about whom John Williams said “I can honestly say that what I know about writing for the French horn, I learned from him.”
I started a thread in CS about it.
So Tony Dow is near death, could come shortly. How close is he to his next birthday? This could sway some points.
Looks like it’s official:
Norman Lear is alive and is now worth 0 points. Turned 100 today!
Oh man, this one hurts…
Likely best known to US audiences from his Doctor Who role as Wilfred Mott, Donna Noble’s cheeky granddad.
Was just seen filming new Doctor Who stuff a few weeks ago. Sad news.
George RR Martin has Covid-19. He is, based on what I’ve read from his blog, vaccinated. However, he is also somewhat older and overweight.
Here’s hoping he makes a quick and full recovery!
I just read about this and yes, it does. Wilf was one of the best characters on the show. At first I just put him down as adorable/ comic relief, but Cribbins made the character so much more noble, tragic, and deep in his highlight episode The End Of Time.
Such a loss.
