Assuming no late claims for 2012 the 9th death of 2013 will claim the award.

The CanPol picks were pretty much for no other reason than I thought they stood a higher chance of being unique than American politicians. I thought I had read about MacEachen being hospitalized so I threw him in (also he is like 90 or something).
He is old. Old doesn't really cut it though for a Dead pool though. Old and sick is the combo that pays.
Ralph Klein has oldtimers and Joyce Fairbairn (one of my subs) has advanced dementia.
Of all my unique picks I'm actually the most pleased with Dennis Frederiksen to be honest. He has inoperable cancer.
Let me guess.. You got that from his website?
Fergie the Faker. He's been dying right through his attempt to reclaim fame. I'm not impressed (I had him on my team the last couple years).
Ian Brady is the same. I thought he wanted to die?

Elok did it last year although he didn't get any hits.
Theme teams can be fun to compile but difficult to score with.
Tuberski has a much more competitive team than Elok's of last year.

Actually I got it from Wikipedia. Didn't know about the faker thing
My take on it. Not confirmed of course.
I seriously considered removing Ronnie Biggs this year for the same reason. For a man released from prison on compassionite grounds to go home to die he sure is taking his bloody time about it.

He will be kept alive in the mental hospital. That's what his hearing this year was to be about - He wanted to be moved to a regular prison where he could starve himself.
Then the poor baby couldn't make his hearing because he wasn't feeling well? WTF!?

I'm allowed editorial comment. It's one of the perks.

Ronnie Biggs didn't even make the alternates. In 6 years, I've only listed him once. I demoted Jerry Lewis, Patty Andrews and Rev. Billy Graham to my alternates list.
However, I've kept several picks that are now more tradition/stubbornness than anything else:
Fidel Castro -- my personal reigning champ, picked all 6 years: 2008-2013. He may, in fact, be immortal.
Vo Nguyen Giap -- 5 straight picks: 2009-2013. He's now over 100 years old.
B.B. King -- picked 5 out of six years (missed 2010). Trying to keep him alive through my protection...
Kirk Douglas - picked 5 out of six years (missed 2010)
Zsa Zsa Gabor -- 4 consecutive (2010-2013)
Run Run Shaw -- 4 consecutive (2010-2013). Also a centenarian.
Nelson Mandela -- 4 times (2009-09, 2012-13)
People expected to die because they are no longer protected by being on my 2013 list:
Ali Khamenei
John Paul Stevens
Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Patty Andrews
Fats Domino
Refrigerator Perry
Henry Kissinger
Jerry Lewis
May God have mercy on their souls.

I won't be playing this year for the obvious reasons.
