January 2016 has been quite a month when it comes to celebrity deaths. Greats like David Bowie, Alan Rickman, and Glenn Frey among many others have left us and ventured into the life after this one.
It was, however, a quiet month for both James & John. We were starting to wonder if any of their Tomb Bowl picks would be within this month's list of the departed.
Today, brought the first shift in Tomb Bowl XIII, as longtime actor of stage, television and screen Abe Vigoda passed away this morning at the age of 94. Mr. Vigoda was on James' list as his "Ironic Death" stipulation. Reports are that he died in his sleep at home and not involved in a fishing accident, so James is only up 1 - 0. We're only 26 days into 2016, and devoted followers of the Tomb Bowl know that anything can happen between now and when the ball drops on December 31st.
For more on the life of Abe Vigoda, please visit his obituary in the New York Times.
