While I respect the Ref's decision is final, I'd say it falls under the suicide rule.

Just raging I dropped the cow after her 'two faced' shenanigans. There's a special place in Hell for the likes of her. :angry:

What if someone is on life support, is it murder if the doc switches it off?

Can we assume that Pete speaks in jest? The convenor's decision must be accepted. Otherwise we don't have a game.

Convener’s decision will be final. In the event of an unfavourable decision, I have no appetite to put my case before the European Court of Arbitration for Sport. Dead Pool is however serious bidness. Especially at the sharp end and going into the last 8 weeks of the competition...

‘killing’

‘intentionally ending a life’

= unnatural causes IMO.

Someone has died, do you have no respect?

Week 43 update

One death this week and for the second week running it's a long-time terminally ill Dead Pool favourite. Marieke Vervoort: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/disability-sport/50150513

For once that's actually a really good article on the BBC website, so I'd give it a read. I think it's also important to consider the circumstances of her death in relation to the usual contestants in this competition. Usually people are picked because they're expected to die. Mostly due to disease or old age. There's a rule forbidding the selection of the specifically terminally ill - that is, people famous for that reason. Vervoort wasn't. We knew she was terminal. We knew she'd signed off on euthanasia when she was unable to cope with her ailments any longer. When you read about the life she led and the things she faced daily while doing it, I honestly don't know how society right now can largely forbid assisted dying. There's no humanity in it. 

There was humanity for Vervoort though, who won Paralympic gold medals and fought to live life on her own terms when life tried to force otherwise. Maybe that's the thing to take away here.

She died at 40, so she was worth 85 Base Points. There's been questions over whether or not she was eligible for the Unnatural Causes bonus - "Unnatural Causes - If your pick is murdered, commits suicide or has an accident, you get 30 extra points."

Course she fucking was. Someone killed her. She was picked by 6 people - @alta-pete, @Indale Winton, @lichtgilphead, @lolls, @Sweaty Morph and @The Naitch. Everyone gets 85 Base Points plus the 30 points Unnatural Causes bonus. lolls gets an extra set of Base Points added for a Captain's pick, so it's 200 points for him, 115 for everyone else. As a result, the standings now look like this:

Reports that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed - don't think I've ever had so many ex picks go in such a short space if time.

(His death has been misreported before though)

The Donald is speaking to the American people soon so it’s likely to be that. Or maybe he’s managed a shite on his own for the first time.
