2024 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

Individual-ONE claims that when the FBI raided his place, he “nearly escaped death”. By my understanding, that means that he did not actually escape death, even though he remains oddly unburied. Unfortunately, the raid was not this year, so anyone who has him on their list is SoL.

And besides mangling the phrasing, the Defendant omits the relevant fact that he wasn’t on the premises on the day of the raid.

Are you guys in the right thread?

No, they are not. Take it to one of the political forums.

It doesn’t look like anybody picked him, but Richard M. Sherman, until now the surviving half of the songwriting duo with his brother Roger famous for so many Disney earworms, passed away at age 95.

(The retired football cornerback of the same name is still alive.)

Wouldn’t have been a valid pick since it’s a dog, but the dog from the Doge meme has died.

Doug Ingle of Iron Butterfly, last original member and writer of In-a-gadda-da-vida:

18 times 7 is 126 anyway, no points would have been awarded.

On the Golf channel they read a statement from Grayson Murray’s parents which said, in part, that he took his own life. Very sad.

The players are wearing red and black pins in honor of Grayson who always wore black & red on Sundays to honor his favorite team, the Carolina Hurricanes.

Former NBA Hall of Fame player and announcer Bill Walton has died at age 71.

RIP, Bill.

He was a heckuva college hoops player, a good NBA player whose career was slowed by injuries, and an absolutely terrible basketball announcer. But he was also a fellow Deadhead, and I will fire one up in his honor.

I will always remember him from the 2000 Australia Olympics coverage. He was hilariously bad and I mean that in an almost endearing way. He just had very little television capability and was a bit of a goof, one who had no idea he was clueless.

Anyway, 71 is far too young.

Johnny Wactor, 37 yr old former soap opera actor (General Hospital), was shot & killed by some men who were attempting to steal his catalytic converter.

GH actor killed in Los Angeles

That sucks. Always liked Moon Knight, since I discovered him in the 90s

Elizabeth MacRae, best known for her role as Gomer Pyle’s girlfriend Lou-Ann Pouvie, has died at 88.

That’s weird because I was just checking to see which Gomer Pyle cast members were still alive a couple of days ago.

So you’re responsible?

Don’t blame me. She was alive when I checked on her.
