I'm conflicted hosting such a time-sensitive pool like the Cup but also giving notable deadpooling news that could affect the competition. But I decided to post it, because I accidentally found it while looking for my ABC pool prospects (and also, I geniunely like to post the news, like I often do). Journalist/Ice cream author Amy Ettinger is now in hospice: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2024/03/09/amy-ettinger-hospice-cancer-inspiration/ She's also a DDP pick, and I am interested if she gets more than her WashPost coverage.

So... how did this game end?

Sven-Olof Sallström finally received a qualifying obit. He was a sitting member of the Swedish parliament for the Sweden Democrats since 2010. I guess, only because he was an incumbent did the obit appear in a qualifying form on the parliament's own web page. Incumbent politicians dying are always a big deal, though I can't really tell that he was all THAT important in the grand scheme of things. But he scores. Also dead is American Astronaut Thomas "Tom" Stafford. As a member of the Apollo program he flew to the moon but didn't land on it. Later on, he was one of the three Americans who docked with three Soviet astronauts - in space. The Apollo-Soyuz mission was seen as an important step in defusing the Cold War. It also was the last hurrah of the Apollo modules before the age of the Space Shuttle. These two deaths greatly reduce the number of dice rolls I would have to do. Neither of the picks were unique as their bad health was publicly known. Tom Stafford also had a widely publicized hospitalisation late last year and, thus, is a standard name in this year's pools. Max_bossetti is the only one with a double hit in this update and msc is the only one who catches up in score, turning, for now, into this round's "best loser".

Well, good timing. The new sub is then American comedian Joe Flaherty.

I pick german actor Fritz Wepper.

I actually think that counts, as it's an official, curated source of information. I'll update tomorrow.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. It's auto-translated from this real article: https://samnytt.se/sven-olof-sallstrom-sd-ar-dod-akesson-en-svart-dag But the link above is not the english-language version of that newspaper but something else, not even a blog. All the links on the web page don't work... and what is it about that "Sample Page".

No, it's King Charles.

Ah yes, the blockage has been fixed. Bozeman city commissioner I-Ho Pomeroy has died. As mentioned elsewhere, she had a brain tumour and surgery. While the surgery was initially successful, the tumour came back with a vengeance and killed her pretty quickly. Watchul observers noted her entering hospice. She seems to have been well-respected in the city, for her political work and her restaurant. You could say, she was the Councillor Jason Smith of Montana.... Also, Ghanaian musician KK Kabobo has died. Can't say I've heard of him before, so here you go: Well, it sounds meh... He died of a liver disease that he was battling for decades and leaves behind 16 children. These two hits are the first ones in this round that are not unique. So a few players rejoice, and curiously two players have both of these names, wannamaker and DevonDeathTrip: AltObitsGuy 0-0 theoldlady Perhaps 0-0 TheKillingTime Spade_Cooley 0-4 GuyFromFuture Hell 0-0 Famous6eva Grim Up North 0-4 Death By Arsenic Cpt.

After Tasha Butts, I-Ho Pomeroy might be the 2nd fatality of the list that I called "Meh":

Well, several players might soon receive some points if I-Ho Pomeroy has indeed died:

That's what they say. I don't know, I look at this picture and think it's not that easy. But I do believe that it's not stage 4. And with his access to healthcare he should still be more likely than not to live for 5 more years (I think it's a 60-40 bet).
