The list that the portal makes every year is becoming more and more famous’The DeathList‘(‘ The death list ‘, in Spanish), which gives the name of the fifty celebrities who, according to the website, will have a high probability of dying during the next 12 months.
“Being famous enough for his death to be reported by the UK media” is the requirement that the committee takes into account to create such a list.
Another requirement is that only 25 candidates can reappear on the list for a consecutive year.
The list
By 2021, ‘The DeathList’ hit 12 of the 50 celebrities it proposed. On the list were Captain Tom Moore, American boxer Leon Spinks, sportscaster Murray Walker, Prince Philip, soccer player Jimmy Greaves, among other celebrities who lost their lives over the past year.
This year, the Queen Isabel II makes his fourth appearance. In 2021, the monarch was in position number 25, this year it rises to number 12.
At the top this year is 97-year-old actor Dick van Dyke. It is the seventh time that his name has been taken into account.
Another name that draws attention is that of Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State of the United States, who appears on the list for the tenth time and goes from being in position number 13 to second this year.
In third, fourth and fifth places are actress Angela Lansbury, actor and host Bob Barker and economist Alan Greenspan, former president of the US Federal Reserve System, respectively.
Other names that attract attention in the list are the former president of the United States Jimmy Carter, in position nine; footballer Pelé, at number 41; former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, in 44th place, and millionaire murderer Robert Durst, in 36th place.
‘The DeathList’ broke all expectations in 2020, when they ‘guessed’ the deaths of 20 people who were on their list.
“Only two of them are directly related to covid-19,” the portal said on its website.
The list turns out to be quite indiscreet for many. It should be noted that the names on the list are only a ‘prediction’ of the portal and more than one of the celebrities has had health problems or are elderly, which is why they may be within the list.
