Easy picks, omitted out of common decency, who either are, have parents desperate for them to be, or would actively like to be victims of quacks, respectively: Sarah Hershberger, Raphael Elisha Cohen, and Liza Cozad, wife of Sammy Hagar drummer David Lauser.

The guy in the plaid shirt is either in the process of applauding or making an obscure sign for "lungs." Then again, the relevant Snoid panel is hard to find.

To be fair, I probably spend much more time researching this than others.

I have a working list for 2015 that's been going since February.

Still....bitches.

The lack of death in the second half of 2014 has been a real drag.

That said, my 2015 list is shaping up quite nicely. 

You're with me, cancer.

Wow I thought that was a wasted pick when he didn't die at the start of the year after false reports of his death at the end of 2013. Not sure how I missed it.

Based on my record in this thing, please feel free to offer me money to be on my Deadpool list for 2015.

I'm going to claim the corpse of Robert Catalano, mind you.

For the unimaginative, the "Wellness Warrior" is predictably going to shit (http://www.jessainscough.com/2014/12/merry-christmas-overdue-update/).

I've just realised that Dennis "Fergie" Frederiksen died less than three weeks after I finally gave up on him and dropped him from my roster, in January '14.  Fucking Survivor, indeed.  Cunt.

Not only is Hal Puthoff still alive, the damn fool was quoted in the NYT (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html) over the weekend.

Quote"We're sort of in the position of what would happen if you gave Leonardo da Vinci a garage-door opener," said Harold E. Puthoff, an engineer who has conducted research on extrasensory perception for the C.I.A. and later worked as a contractor for the program.
