I doubt that anyone had him, but noted musician Ray Barretto died today at the age of 76.
Godfather trilogy and Sopranos actor Richard Bright catches unwanted bus – dead at 68.
Not a good year to be a Cowsill:
Is someone keeping an online update of the scores? I know I was up in the points earlier in the month. I just want to see how far I have slipped with these recent deaths.
No I just went by the last update and added to Architect’s score.
Curt Gowdy dead at 86: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060220/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/obit_gowdy
Two down in one year.
Technically, the other Cowsill died last year, during Hurricane Katrina. The body wasn’t idenitifed until later, so the death was reported this year.
So much for my Death Pool Virginity…
I feel like going into the bathroom and having a good cry 
a35362 usually posts updated scores on the first day of each month. Hence, the last update was on 02-01-06. Unless I misssed something, I was the only member to surpass your current 88 point total during the current month. uglybeech and Rachm Qoch are tied for first with 112 points. I am right behind them in 3rd with 107 points and you Sean Factotum are in 4th w/ 88 points. The Vorlon is next at 82 points assuming that Al Lewis was 95 y/o at death.
There is a long way to go in 2006. I expect at least four more on my list to check out before 2007.
Hang in there, Ariel.
Much obliged. I have enough trouble keeping track of my own points.
But we’re NOT assuming that, right? No less an authority than Kent, the Dead or Alive Info guy, has debunked that obviously erroneous date and cited several sources including Lewis’ own son for the correct information.
I am convinced he was 82. Is there anyone else who is clinging to 95?
I think that all of us who did not list Al Lewis would agree he was 95. Or maybe even 99. 
And we outnumber y’all so…there.
On a more serious note – when the controversy originally came up, I was very decidedly on the “let’s go with the highest number found” as per the rules (letter, as opposed to spirit). I’m obviuosly biased, but I hadn’t really considered that in my thoughts. I wonder if unconsciously, that’s what happened…
I’m not the person that will have to make that decision, thank Og. And I’ll go with whatever aNumbers decides.
Anthony Burger, a 44-year-old pianist who had been nominated twice for the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Award in the instrumental album category, died Wednesday while performing on a cruise ship. Burger, an associate of the Gaither family of Christian music renown, was entertaining on a Gaither Homecoming voyage, and this year’s Dove nomination was for an album titled A Tribute to Bill and Gloria Gaither.
I was just trying to give an unofficial update on the top four scores at the request of Sean Factotum. So, The Vorlon has either 82 or 95 points depending on whether Al Lewis is recognized as having an age at death of 95 or 82 years respectively.
It isn’t my decision to make a ruling here nor is it my intent to continue the argument. I imagine a35362 will decide how many points Al Lewis is worth upon making the March 1st update.
Don Knotts, has passed.
It had to be The Incredible Mr Limpet!
I had him first on my list*: ::sigh:: next time I will pick more deserving celebrities. RIP officer Barney…
[Sub]*You are next in my K list Kurt Waldheim! [/Sub]
