Moopy Deathlist 2025 - (Entries before 31st Jan)

[AGinAg (37)]

I believe there was a @Madison / @InDie Hard 2 joint win, although I'll leave to them to decide. If so that's the first non pure Indie win since the death of Lyndon Johnson.

Rules:

- Pick 25 people
- Two must be under 50
- No more than two centarians.
- At most three from the top ten of this year's Deathlist.net (see below)
- People we're likely to have heard of, please. The governing principle is that their death could conceivably be reported on the BBC News website or similar.

KEEP YOUR NAMES IN ONE POST PLEASE

The Deathlist.net list

Dick Van Dyke
Eva Marie Saint

Your list is final, therefore no edits from the end of January. But most importantly HAVE FUN.

Is there a cut off for changes, apart from someone actually dying?

I swear you run errands for The Grim Reaper as a side hustle. The mental image of you speeding through a town centre on an electric bike with a scythe in a massive black thermal bag with "Just Reap" written on it remains high in my mind.

"Scythe" was too much of an ask of AI.

Quite the bulge in the trouser department, mind you...

[Finn]

I'm hoping to put my death list annus horribilis of 2024 (only one dead, but then two from last year's selection dying in the first weeks of this year) behind me. Here's to 2025.



Pete Doherty
Vanessa Redgrave
Ben Cohen (ice cream, not rugby)
Jerry Greenfield
John Williams

Prunella Scales - DEAD 27/10/25
Esther Rantzen
Antony Worrall Thompson
Joanne Woodward
Michael Aspel

Norman Tebbit - DEAD AND IN HELL 8/7/25
Dennis Skinner
Ian Smith
Imelda Marcos
Film star and alleged murderer Robert Wagner

Stephen Bear
James Whale - DEAD
George Lucas
Pam St Clement
Eileen Derbyshire

Hans Blix
Allan Ahlberg - RIP, KING <3
Brian Blessed
Don King
Tom Baker

Bonus round, just for fun because the deathlist is humans only:
Larry the Cat

DIE MY PRETTIES, DIE

 

[Rita]

No King Charles or Katie Price!?

 

[disneyteletubby]

I'll try this
Here they are (may a selection of the rest in peace in 2024):

Or 2025:

George Foreman

RIP I remember mentioning him, but not on the list I made this year.

 

[Finn]

I regret picking Don King as my dead boxing star of choice for 2025, although he's nearly TWENTY YEARS OLDER! And doesn't even eat lean!

 

[Sardonicus]

I can't believe I've managed to pull level with @Indie after Val Kilmer (it won't last)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Virginia Giuffre - under 50 died in 2025
George Foreman died in 2025

but not on the list I made this year.

Sad about her early passing, but fascinating to have seen it coming relatively soon (the following year).

Perhaps I should keep a few names from my 2025 list for next year, even though it feels a bit mean for some.

 

[Finn]

Getting an under 50, who isn't known to be ill, is some proper shit

 

[octophone]

I wish a couple of the bastards on my list would die. Mike Peters and Sly Stone were vastly more deserving of oxygen than most of the others.
