US actress Evelyn Ward (89) is entering her ninth year of residential care for dementia and related issues. Low-profile for her work over here but likely to get some press coverage on death on account of being David Cassidy's mum.

Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

I know he has been posted here before and i thought he had his own thread but turns out he doesn't not from my searches anyway but joost van der Westhuizen gave an interview, in the interview it said he appeared to have trouble speaking and being understood. Now with als Speech is usually the last thing to go , i think he is a good bet for 2013 i always thought 2012 was a bit premature to put him on my list.

So why did you?

Thought an active person like a rugby player might find it hard to cope with this disease and kill himself , I know i would in his position .Either that or the disease which usually takes 2 -5 years to kill 95% of its sufferers would rapidly kill him.

Can find no mention anywhere else of Meshulam Riklis (b. 1923), an Israeli-American billionaire who made his fortune as a corporate raider and was once married to B-list actress and singer Pia Zadora. Wouldn't lend this guy a fiver...

Do former Miss America's pull UK obits? Mary Ann Mobley. She is married to Garry Collins of US talk show and bad TV shows fame. I've been away for awhile and need to reaclimate to the UK bios. I think that she would get one because she was one of the last Miss America Dream stories who married an actor and had a nice life. I think Garry Collins would get a UK obit so maybe his Miss America wife would?

If they're married to someone internationally famous or have colourful private lives and generate a lot of press coverage then it's quite likely

Renowned classical pianist Van Cliburn, 78, has been diagnosed with advanced bone cancer.

What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

US Senator Arlen Specter is in the hospital with a serious illness.

“I’m sorry I can’t provide any information to that effect, you’ll have to ask somebody else,” replied a woman who answered the phone at Specter’s office Monday when asked if she could confirm that Specter was in the hospital.

There was a picture of Dave Whelan (Chairman of Wigan Athletic b 1936) in my paper last night and I thought he was someone who is worthy of consideration. His apprarance reminded me a bit of Bob Paisley. Outside chance but probably not main list fodder.
