2024 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

My lists (for seven years) have been entertainers over 90. (Guess what the 2025 list will be!) Only 6 points this year, thanks to Bob Newhart.

I like George Burns’ line: “If you live to be one hundred, you’ve got it made. Very few people die past that age. ”

Original to Sir Pterry, I believe. Taking about the Silver Horde.

Dear esteemed Death Mistress, while working on compiling a list for 2025, it has come to my attention that Charlie Bird shuffled off this mortal coil on March 11 which should give me an additional 26 points. I apologize for not having noticed this earlier in the year.
Charlie Bird wiki- died at age 74

Jill Jacobson dies: ‘Star Trek’ and Falcon Crest’ actress was 70

If you have not seen the Coldplay video about him, I recommend it. Extremely heartwarming.

That would have been a bad miss

Dick Van Arsdale, a three-time All-Star who became the first Phoenix Suns player after being selected by the franchise in the 1968 expansion draft, has died. He was 81.

Dick and his twin brother Tom were the first set of identical twins to play in the NBA. They played together collegiately at Indiana and again played on the same team when Tom joined the Suns for the 1976-77 season, their last year of pro basketball.

Robert Sténuit, author, underwater archeologist/treasure hunter, and the world’s first aquanaut, dead at 91.

Lt General Igor Kirillov, head of Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defense, accidentally walked too close to an exploding scooter in Moscow. He would have been worth 46 points, if anyone had picked him.

Ironically, the scooter broke his fall from an 11th floor window and then exploded.

Mike Brewer of Brewer & Shipley dead at age 80. One toke over the grave line, folks.

Sweet Jesus.

The original Rey Mysterio ( Miguel Ángel López Díaz) has died at age 69, Rey Misterio - Wikipedia

I love how actors/actresses who play small recurring parts in TV shows suddenly become the “star” when they die.

Well, it’s not like those promotions cost anyone money.

In the baseball offseason thread we are discussing the unconfirmed reports that Rickey Henderson has died.

Sadly, this seems to be confirmed by several sources.
