Has anyone looked at who the most guessed person is? From reading over them I would say Mitch McConnell

I counted Mitch 18 times and Jimmy Carter 17 times on the first page.

I got 17 for both and another 17 for Bruce Willis

I believe you, I did a very cursory count. I didn't double check or anything.

Anyone have James Kottak? He was a drummer from Scorpions.

Apologies, I stand corrected.

Apparently Prince William's wife went to the hospital for a planned "Abdominal Operation". It wasn't intended to treat cancer. I have a hunch as to what it was.

I participate in a thread in a different part of SA where we enjoy people with unusual and unique names. I found the following gentleman on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Assmann

and his wife:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleida_Assmann

Wikipedia purports that the couple had 5 children, meaning that there are 6 Assmen remaining.

Turned 90 and decided the next day that it wasn't for him

I think the real tragedy is that he was a Priest and didn't have any children. "Well you see this is the third biggest Crapp in the family after me and my wife. That over there is the smallest Crapp my wife and I ever made. Later on we are going to take our Crapps to the pool."

Speaking of swimming Crapps, I found the following:

No one had him but Marcello Gandini passed away recently. He designed the Lamborghini Miura, Lamborghini Countach, Lancia Stratos, and came up with Gull Wing doors.

I really wanted a Lamborghini as a kid.

Connecticut doesn't have that many notable people, but now it has one fewer.

EDIT: His Wikipedia page makes me mad with his policies later in life.

Any reports on if he was near any stairs at the time?

He was not in fact protected. Apparently Pope Francis' health has been trending better. Also because I've been searching for him a bunch, I've gotten a bunch of Catholic advertisements.

They aren't famous by any stretch of the imagination, but it is odd timing for a priest and a nun to die on Easter.
