Celebrity Death Pool 2014

The edit window was closed when I noticed the fact I left out his age. His recant dealt with not rremembering who did the typing, Ethel or his wife.

Wikipedia is not reputable? :eek:

I did look and indeed Billy Vera posted on Facebook about the death. And they appeared to be friends. But I wouldn’t take that as gospel either.

“RIP Tim Hauser and my deepest condolences to his loyal wife Barb. We lost him early this morning. Besides being the founder of the Manhattan Transfer, he was one of the best friends I ever had”

“…and another thing, Timmy was indirectly responsible for my voiceover career. He asked me to sub for him on his KCRW radio show when he was on the road, which led to me having my own show. One day a call came into the station, asking whether I’d be interested in doing v/o. It saved my financial ass, and then some. This pic was to celebrate our both licking prostate cancer. — with Tim Hauser.”

Kiwi Herald? (eight points)

Wrong guy. Looking for confirmation of Tim Hauser.

But thanks for the accurate age. I could have swore what I was looking at before said 97.

How strange. No confirmation on the official Manhattan Transfer website, no confirmation on Tim Houser’s Facebook page, and the most recent news article I could find on him was something posted from four hours ago announcing Houser and the rest of the group performing in an upcoming show. Plus, the Wikipedia page has be changed to take out the “death” date. Yet, no change or correction from Billy Vera’s Facebook page, and he seems like someone who would know the inside scoop. I’m beginning to lean toward it being a hoax.

Meanwhile, pending official identification, it looks like Misty Upham’s body finally turned up.

Now it’s confirmed.

Plenty of people seem to be dying this year, just not the ones I want

I feel your pain.

Former American Idol contestant Joanne Borgella dies at 68 points.

Former Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam has died at 2 points.

My first and second point for the year! Now we see my Aussie themed list start paying the big dividends, bwahahaha.

Two points each for BACI and Eliahna. The latter lost their virginity this year to Whitlam, and is catapulted into 80th place, the lowest score on the board so far, lol.

Anyone considering a American Idol theme in 2015?


If no one had Joanne Borgella, we are clearly not taking this game seriously enough. She announced her cancer last year.

C’mon People, this was 68 points of low hanging fruit.

Nope – 68 points, gone to waste.

Singer John Holt (Paragons =- “Tide is High”) has died

Brian

Per CNN http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/20/living/oscar-de-la-renta-death/index.html, fashion designer Oscar De La Renta has died at 82

What do the 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis, George Clooney’s wife’s wedding dress and Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock have in common? All are linked to deaths that have occurred in the last 24 hours.

RIP Gerard Parkes, aka Doc from Fraggle Rock.

He’s now fashionably late.

:smiley:

MSNBC is reporting that Ben Bradley has died.

Confirmed.
