Playwright Neil Simon has died at 91.

@Mahaloth

Well, John McCain may be my only points this year, but I guess I didn’t strike out.

Ditto. Now I can relax and get to work on my losing list for next year.

Two more classic Marvel Comics people have died: illustrator and cover artist extraordinaire Marie Severin at 11 points, and writer and co-creator of Ghost Rider Gary Friedrich at 25 points for me and, I assume, me alone.

35 points in one morning, giving me the most deaths and (I think) the most points I’ve ever had; very sad.

So that’s how I jumped from 64th place to 40th. Damn.

Vanessa Marquez, formerly of ER, has been shot and killed by police performing a welfare check - the good news is she was alive when they got there.

ER actress shot, killed by police

Tragically she pulled out a BB gun in the presence of police, and apparently the police did not have the luxury of time in that moment to identify that the gun was only a BB gun. A tragic and sad event for all involved.

Soap Opera actress Susan Brown dead at 86.

[Catamount]

Oh great Death Shroom, I think my points are wrong. I had Billy Graham, Carl Kassell and John McCain so I should have 35 points instead of 20.

[Superdude]

@Biotop

Soap Opera actress Susan Brown dead at 86.

Wonder how long it’ll be before she returns. Probably just in time to object to her widower’s new marriage.

Thanks for the update: 16 points, and a Unique Pick for Carl Kassell (died in April 2018).

Note to everyone: check your lists or create “Google Alerts” as I do not check every pick/death…

[Catamount]

Don’t feel bad. I forgot I picked Kassel and McCain until I checked my list. I was confused why I suddenly had more than one point.

[carnivorousplant]

I had Kassel a couple of years ago and dropped him because I felt guilty having a nice guy on my list.
Dammit, points is points!
