**Loach** had Frank Fritz. I’m kind of surprised that nobody had John Amos. I liked his bad guy character in the second _Die Hard_ movie. That was a good plot twist. | 1 | Registered at Last | 263 | 6 | 2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2 | jeezums | 221 | 5 | 2 | | 3 | RTFirefly | 210 | 4 | 0 | | 4 | candide | 194 | 4 | 0 | | 5 | phungi | 191 | 4 | 0 | | 6 | Happy Lendervedder | 173 | 4 | 1 | | 7 | Loach | 166 | 4 | 3 | | 8 | Mean Mr. Mustard | 151 | 3 | 1 | | 9 | Captain Klutz | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 9 | critter 42 | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 9 | Kitten Mitten | 135 | 3 | 0 | | 12 | GIGObuster | 119 | 3 | 0 | | 13 | Queen Anne’s Lace | 106 | 2 | 0 | | 14 | Superdude | 99 | 3 | 0 | | 15 | Hoopy Frood | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | It’s Not Rocket Surgery | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | Little Nemo | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | Lord Feldon | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 15 | RobotDevilDog | 97 | 2 | 0 | | 20 | J-P L | 85 | 2 | 0 | | 21 | zadscmc | 75 | 3 | 1 | | 22 | Dung Beetle | 74 | 2 | 0 | | 23 | Cazzle | 71 | 2 | 1 | | 24 | Slow Moving Vehicle | 70 | 3 | 1 | | 25 | Pardel-Lux | 69 | 2 | 0 | | 26 | Mona\_Lott | 64 | 2 | 0 | | 27 | Stephe96 | 62 | 3 | 1 | | 28 | NoNoNo | 60 | 3 | 0 | | 29 | jdracingfan | 54 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | BuckyPO | 53 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | Dancer\_Flight | 53 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | Kent\_Clark | 53 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | Mahaloth | 53 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | Precambrianmollusc | 53 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | RivkahChaya | 53 | 2 | 0 | | 36 | Monstera delciosa | 48 | 2 | 1 | | 37 | adriancohen100 | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Bayaker | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Borborygmi | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Catamount | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | CreaseMunky | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Culling\_The\_Herd | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Deanna\_D | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Dr. Girlfriend | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | gkster | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | GuanoLad | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Gyrate | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Jack Batty | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Jegpeg | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | kitap | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Larry\_Borgia | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Lsura | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Maus Magill | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | McDeath\_the\_Mad | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | opiewan | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Railer13 | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Rebo | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Reindeer\_Flotilla | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | SuntanLotion | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | tuesdayweld | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | Wheelz | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 37 | WolfpackJeep | 47 | 1 | 0 | | 63 | xizor | 44 | 2 | 0 | | 64 | Ponch8 | 36 | 1 | 36 | | 65 | ZamboniAce 1000 | 30 | 2 | 0 | | 66 | JohnT | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 66 | Mrs. Ducky | 24 | 1 | 0 | | 68 | MarkF2004 | 20 | 1 | 1 | | 69 | blue67ccm | 19 | 3 | 1 | | 70 | gwendee | 17 | 1 | 0 | | 71 | Shoeless | 16 | 2 | 1 | | 72 | Allecher | 12 | 1 | 1 | | 73 | Lsura | 11 | 1 | 0 | | 73 | Paul was in Saudi | 11 | 2 | 0 | | 73 | teelabrown | 11 | 1 | 0 | | 73 | vivalostwages | 11 | 1 | 0 | | 77 | Biotop | 10 | 2 | 2 | | 78 | commasense | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 78 | Czarcasm | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 78 | Nother Yinzer | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 81 | Moriarty | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 82 | irritant | 2 | 1 | 0 | | 83 | Baker | 0 | 1 | 1 | ---

A quick Google search shows an article from someplace called the LSU times (I got a browser redirect to a “you browser is infected” site, so I won’t link to it) that says it’s an unconfirmed rumor. That’s the only info I can find one way or another about it. Wikipedia and TMZ both have him as alive, so I’d say that there’s been no official declaration. I’d consider him alive. ---
