Celebrity Death Pool 2018

UK actress Emma Chambers has died, of natural causes*. You may know her from Vicar of Dibley or Notting Hill. She was 53.

*That’s all it says, so I assume it was expected, and likely an illness.

Not Alice. Ouch.

So, you’re saying that Alice doesn’t live there (or anywhere, really) anymore?
I look forward to your letters.

Bud Luckey, an animator who worked for Pixar more recently, but is also responsible for some well known segments on Sesame Street, such as “That’s About The Size Of It,” “Ladybug’s Picnic,” and “The Alligator King,” has died aged 83.

Big Bollywood star Sridevi Kapoor taunts us with 46 points left on the table.

Heart attack at a family wedding. That sucks. Bad enough to die at 54, but the married couple have their day ruined.

Apparently, actor, director, writer, Silent Bob, Kevin Smith had a massive heart attack last night. This according to his Twitter account. He’s not dead, and he’s tweeting, but it sounds harrowing.

If he’s still tweeting no points.

Esna Cosby (Bill Cosby’s daughter) has died at age 44 from renal disease… clearly, the wrong Cosby.

His son was murdered some time ago. Tough to lose your children, whether you are a good guy or a bad guy.

Comedian, writer, author, crusader and all around admirable fellow (at least I admired him) Barry Crimmins has succumbed to cancer. Thirty-six points possibly laying fallow.

Well that screws up my 2019 list.

While walking the ghoul lane, his wife is pretty sick too.

See how versatile he was, though? He was a writer AND and author.

Famous for being sick. She was unknown until he started raising money for her treatment.

Bill Burkette, lead singer of The Vogues-dead at age 75.

Orin C. Smith, President and CEO of Starbucks-age 75.
I almost put him on my themed “Religious Leaders” list in the other thread.

Not to be confused with O. C. Smith, also dead.

Looks like the 25 points for Major Charles Emerson Winchester go unclaimed.
