Wow, I had no idea he was still alive.
Vanu Bose, son of the founder of Bose Corp., who founded his own technology company and was a pioneer in inexpensively expanding cell service to remote areas has passed at 48 points.
Keith Barron, prolific British actor, died aged 83. He’s most famous for Brits from starring in a sitcom in the 80s called Duty Free, about a married couple going on their yearly holidays to Spain. But he has worked steadily forever.
No takers for Smith, Mollo, Doerr, Bose, or Barron
Next year participants need to start thinking more about picking young celebrities who like their heroin and fentanyl. Here’s one where you could have picked up a nice 79 points:
Lil Peep who just turned 21:
Anyone have Charles Manson this year? He seems pretty close to checking out.
He doesn’t look like someone who has made very good life choices.
Rest In Peace? NOT!
More like Burn In Hell
So many rappers, so few Lil Peeps…
Surprisingly, only one: Nema98, who is waiting on first points of the year (and likely losing one’s Death Pool Virginity to Charles Manson)
Joy Lofthouse, who flew Spitfires and bombers for the Air Transport Auxiliary, has died at 94.
Rapper Lil Peep, an emerging voice on the hip hop scene and a YouTube star, has died at the age of 21. Born Gustav Åhr, the Long Island rapper and singer blended emo and hip hop for a distinctive singing and rapping style which often highlighted his drug use.
I’ve got Lil twist as an alternate, damn. [del]79 points down the drain [/del] my condolences to his family and agents.
He doesn’t look like someone who has made very good life choices.

Neither does Manson and he made it to 83.
Malcolm Young, AC/DC Guitarist dead at 64. 36 points for **Andrew21, bowler girl, Loach, Melondeca, Scoobysnax, **.

Back in the top 25. I predict a strong month coming up.
I missed this one a few days ago. I doubt anyone had him. Ferdie Pacheco died at 89. He was Ali’s cornerman and for years it seemed like he was working every big fight. As a former boxing fan I remember him well first working the fights and then as a commentator.
No takers for Pacheco.
Just when I was thinking of addressing the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi “issue”, a news report surfaces saying that he is on the move.
I removed him from the current rankings. Recognizing that this changes the rankings at the top of the leaderboard, including myself, I am hoping he returns to the list real soon (extra apologies to 1b3bz18c9ed269201 and Ají de Gallina, for whom he was their lone pick this year.)
If anyone can provide a better solution, I am open, but it looks like this guy isn’t dead yet.
