With the death of game show host Bob Barker last year, former President Jimmy Carter moves up a notch in the dead pool rankings at Stiffs.com to become the public figure most likely to die in 2024.
Carter has been in the top five of the Stiffs.com dead pool competition for the last five years. Will this be the year the grim reaper finally catches up with him?
Of the top 20 public figures marked for death in 2023 by Stiffs.com, seven bought the farm. They included Barker, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, singer Tony Bennett, cartoonist Al Jaffee, sitcom writer and producer Norman Lear, singer and actor Harry Belafonte and former first lady Rosalyn Carter.
In last year’s Stiffs.com competition, two people correctly picked actor Matthew Perry, 54, to die in 2023. Also, two people correctly forecast the death of singer Sinead O’Connor, 56.
