Don't think so. Just chiming in to say that I'm crazy busy on a work project (worked a 70 hour week last week) and am therefore a little behind on all of the latest demises. Will post an updated table - probably at the end of next week - likely that this will say that DBD has increased his lead...

If someone is in an unrecoverable vegetative state, technically dead but is connected to a machine that makes their chest inflate and deflate then, surely, the moment they entered this state is the effective time of death, rather than the moment they expire shortly after the machine is unplugged?

Given the lack of rules regarding this grey area, we can only commend your vulturistic opportunism.

How can you be disqualified from a death pool? You can't cheat unless you can publish false reports on the BBC.

"... unlike certain cards I could mention"

That's my only recollection of him.

Reports on the news over the weekend (but sourced from Thabo Mbeki, so probably to be taken with a hefty pinch of salt) that Mandela is getting better and may be out of hospital soon. If he makes it to Thursday this week he'll only be worth a measly five points.
