Every year, in January, the British web portal Death list publishes his famous and macabre list of the 50 stars who could die before the end of December. This curious list is arranged as a ranking and includes actors, models, politicians, scientists, artists and musicians from around the world famous enough for their deaths to appear in the British press. The one from 2021, for example, reserved the 41st place for Raúl Castro.
According to the rules of its creators, only 25 of those who survived the macabre list of the previous year can be repeated. The calculation of positions is made from the probabilities of death of each figure, taking into account the age or diseases they suffer.
The 2021 list is curious about the fact that the Duke of Edinburgh, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, appears for the second time in a row in the first place, because he is almost 101 years old and from 2019 remains out of public life.
This ominous list, which has existed since 1987, has managed to do well in 2020, with 20 of the 50 candidates dying, which is the current record. Previously, they hit characters like Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro.
“Deathlist” from 2021 considers these characters in the following order:
Duke of Edinburgh, Betty White, Dick van Dick, Bob Dole, Emperor Akihito, Loretta Lynn, George Schultz, Rush Limbaugh, Murray Walkers, Angela Lansbury, Bob Barker, Alan Greenspan, Henry Kissinger, June Brown, Jimmy Carter, Leslie Phillips, Jacques Delors, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, David Crosby, Prunella Scales, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Tony Bennet, Rosalynn Carter, Dick Cheney, Queen Elizabeth II, Harry Belafonte, Bob Newhart, Jimmy Greaves, Barbara Walters, Pope Benedict XVI, Imelda Marcos, Yoko Ono , Walter Mondale, Linda Nolan, Joanne Woodward, Mel Brooks, Willie Nelson, Betty Boothroyd, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Sidney Poitier, Raúl Castro, Burt Bacharach, Leon Spinks, Frank Williams, Stanley Baxter, Bernard Cribbins, Vanessa Redgrave, Shane MacGowan, Shannen Doherty, Captain Tom Moore.
