The DeathList 1996

The Death List has been carefully prepared annually since 1987 by an experienced committee of Death Experts. The objective is to select celebrities who will sadly not make it through the coming year. Below is the 1996 list. We completed the year with a disappointing score of seven. EMail us with your comments and suggestions for next years list at comments@deathlist.net
