@boomzilla Isn't it time for a new thread for this?
-
@boomzilla Time to rename thread?
Or kill it.

Dang. You guys are absolutely correct.

Well not anymore!

@sockpuppet7 I feel like I was supposed to say this.

Don Larsen,
While I have great respect for Larsen, it's high time for all old (and not old) Yankees to appear in this topic.

@boomzilla For a moment there I thought Christopher Lee (aka "Saruman") had died.
Again.
-
@boomzilla Seems a bit too political? Well, I guess this thread is too low volume to see much controversy.
-
@topspin Meh. It's a fact. He's a person, a prominent public figure, who died in 2020.
Opinions on the subject of his death probably belong elsewhere.
-
@Mason_Wheeler His association with tech is... negligible. The impact of his death upon the denizens of this forum remains to be determined.

I at least tried to filter for relevance most of the time.

@Boner it doesnât say anything about if it was suicide, drug related, an accident...?!
-
@topspin There's some suicide hotline information at the bottom, but it also mentions drug addiction in the article, so :who_nose:

@hungrier I'm pretty sure I've done this joke before, but here goes:

@Zecc If anyone would die twice, that'd be the guy to do it.

I feel like Windows 7 deserves a mention.
Related services for Windows 7 are also also being discontinued over time. For example, certain games such as Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers as well as Electronic Program Guide for Windows Media Center are scheduled to be discontinued in January 2020.
Gasp.

2017 death pool
But the 66-year-old entertainer was still alive at the time, and news outlets that announced his death Monday were forced to retract their stories. The Walk of Fame tribute was canceled.
The reports, as it turned out, were merely premature. Pettyâs publicist confirmed late Monday that the rocker died at 8:40 p.m. after having suffered cardiac arrest.
The unusual chain of events led some to quip online that Petty went out in true rock star fashion â by dying twice in one day.

His own band killed him

And because The Cinema Snob mentioned it:

Moving to Hollywood to appear in Star Trek
According to the same article, she was in one episode, playing a character so minor she didn't even have a name. "First girl"
and star as another villainess in Crown International's thriller Point of Terror (1971)
Starring in another of her typical sexploitation B-movies might be a reasonable reason for moving to Hollywood. But that wasn't until three years later. Pairing them as the reason for moving does not seem sensible.

I have no idea who this is, but apparently noteworthy enough to be news in Sweden, so I guess somewhat famous?

I listen to rap (I'm far from current) and live in NYC (Brooklyn is part of NYC in case that isn't known in Europe) and I've never heard of him.
