The Leto Dynasty Strikes Again

The 2025 season ended with Trevor Leto of the famed Leto dynasty walking away victorious. His winning pick of Dick Cheney cemented yet another triumph for the family, continuing their streak of uncanny foresight.

2026: A New Year, A New Roster

This year, 56 participants gathered to make their selections, each wagering $5.00 per pick. With the pool now finalized, the purse stands at $280—a prize that will go to the sharp-eyed player who correctly predicts the next notable passing and is the youngest to pass next year (formula: 100, minus celebrity age at death=your score).

Familiar Names Return

Some figures have become fixtures on the Death Pool roster, year after year. Charley Sheen, Cher, and Harvey Weinstein remain popular choices, their names once again appearing among the contenders for 2026.

The Bill Cosby Debate

Before the roster could be finalized, extensive research was conducted to determine the status of Bill Cosby. After much deliberation, the answer was confirmed: Alive. His fate now rests in the hands of Chad Ulrich, who claimed Cosby as his official pick for the year.

Looking Ahead

The Family Death Pool continues to blend dark humor with spirited competition, drawing friends and family together in a unique annual ritual. With $280 on the line, the stakes are higher than ever.

Good luck to all participants—may your predictions prove eerily accurate.
