2025 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

Nope. Not just you.

I’ve gone in such a phase with this one I legit thought he was long dead. I’m now just learning he remains alive.

Skiing, too, not racing. I’d forgotten the details.

Me too, since at least 2019, I guess you can blame us for keeping him alive.

Credit us. You can credit us. One perk of the game is the magical life-force we create for anyone we pick.

I’m pretty sure we helped Zsa Zsa and Jimmy Carter make it to 100.

Roberto Orci, creator of Fringe and writer of the new Star Trek movies, has died at 51.

Kidneys.

Dawn’s gone. Michelle Trachtenberg leaves 61 points on the table

Way back, I actually had her on my death list as a “wild unlikely and young death”. One of those punts to try to get 80 points or so, since she was 20 back then.

Very, very, very sad.

I believe this is the first core cast member of Buffy to die and she was the youngest.

Yes. Few notable guest stars (John Ritter, Robin Sachs), but she’s the first main. There’s been speculation about her health based on her appearance the last couple of years, but nobody was expecting that.

Yeah, Robin Sachs has 2-3 appearances and that kid that built a zombie brother died a long time ago as well, but that was just one episode. Oddly enough, the zombie brother was played by the guy who played Abraham on Walking Daed.

It will definitely impact me a bit when I re-watch it. Poor girl.

I still think about Andy Hallet, who played Lorne on Angel. He waited to get his dental work done to finish filming Angel’s final season. Got infected, went to his heart, he died a couple years later from a weakened heart.

That’s kind of shocking. I don’t know much about her (I’m not of Gossip Girl or Buffy fiber). I mostly remember her as a cute kid in Harriet the Spy and as the coquette teeny-bopper in Euro Trip.

According to this, she had recently undergone a liver transplant. It’s certainly possible that she died from complications from the surgery.

My brother died soon after a liver transplant. I wonder if she had the same illness (leptospirosis).

Aw, man that’s sad. So young.

Gene Hackman, his wife, and their dog!!

I wonder if it’s something like carbon monoxide poisoning.

Probably. Their dog was dead as well.

Exactly what I thought.

I was very surprised - though I shouldn’t have been - that he was 95.

I liked him in so many roles.

mmm

Hackman had eight picks. Only one of those already had points, so seven players are new to the count.

Happy to be on the board for the first time in a while, but sad it comes at the cost of a towering talent.
