Default Dead Pool 2015

Bring out your dead!

.25 Pick 5 people.
.5 Starts Jan 1, 2014
1. The year ends on December 31, 2015.

2. All picks must have some element of celebrity, fame or political relevance so that an announcement will be mentioned in some credible news source.

3. No pick may be currently under a state-mandated death sentence, nor may their celebrity or fame be based solely on their moribund state or terminal illness. When someone croaks, post it with proof.
No Duplicate picks please, first one to post a pick gets credit for it.

Taking picks now!

edit:
Note: it's open to everybody, just get your picks in before Jan 1ish.

Reinhard Hardigan would be suitable replacement. At 102 he's still goin' strong and I've not heard to the contrary. I wouldn't wish it by any means as he's one of my favorite skippers; but he's way up there. <at age 99!
