Put me in the list reusing group as well! Except for 2 people, Pope Benedict, who died right after I posted my list, and my 3rd alternate, Henry Kissinger. And Shannen Doherty, on my list for the past 2 years, just announced that her cancer has spread to her bones, but looks pretty good in her recent photos: [Shannen Doherty Will ā€˜Embrace Lifeā€™ as Cancer Spreads to Bones (Exclusive) (people.com)](https://people.com/shannen-doherty-embrace-life-cancer-spread-to-bones-cover-exclusive-8407406) ---

Once I was satisified with my list I copied the names into the above post to make my actual SDMB Death Pool list. In doing so I somehow wrote ā€œNancy Pelosiā€ instead of ā€œDianne Feinsteinā€, which is who I had actually written down on my OG list. Sonofabitchā€¦ ---

No details, or corroboration, but I just saw on Twitter that Myles Goodwin died. Most of you wouldnā€™t know him, but we little 70ā€™s rockers are very familiar with April Wine. Myles was the front man, singer, lead guitarist, songwriter, producer, extremely talented guy. He was 75. ---
