Top 20 celebrities predicted to die in 2019

For the third straight year, actor Kirk Douglas leads the list of celebrities and public figures predicted to die in the year ahead, according to the Stiffs.com dead pool.
Douglas is 102 years old, so the odds of him surviving another year are increasingly against him. Four of the top five are centenarians.
Of the top 20 public figures marked for death in 2018 by Stiffs.com, just four died: former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, Christian evangelist Billy Graham, U.S. Senator John McCain and Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee.
