Cleopatra is Dead

And perhaps our most famous death of 2011 so far is Elizabeth Taylor, the "Mother of Survival." I bet she is eating those words now. Taylor 79 is a nice return with 41 points for Living in Oblivion as well as a bloodbath bonus for the death of Pinetop Perkins as well, that is an extra 25 points.

And we have First Blood

Sorry for my delay in posting this but first blood came on day 2 of the new year... Anne Francis picked up the points for Living in Oblivion... that is 25 points for first blood bonus plus the 40 points in scoring. Well played...

Is it Funnier or Sadder when a Little Person Dies?

I say funnier but half as sad. So long to Poltergeist star Zelda Rubinstein who bit the big one at age 76. She pulls in a nice haul of 44 points for age plus a blood bath bonus for Corpses' Bride nice pick up. Also, Living in oblivion will get the added blood bath bonus as well. This passing also begs the question, how many people named Zelda have ever been eligible for drafting in the Dead League? Special shout out to anyone who can provide the answer...

Catcher & the Rye's Cheese Death Sceen

Reclusive JD Salinger is dead at 91, he is survived by his son and was drafted in the 14th Round by Living in Oblivion. It was a default pick so I can't say nice pick about this one. However you know something is wrong with a person when the most recent photo of them is from the 1950's. So his life was weird but his death was lame, natural causes according to the son, I think the author of a great literary work could have come up with a better end to the story, but that is just me.
