No... I'll re-print the rules for the hard of understanding... 

[Barman]

For new players, a summary of the rules from earlier in the thread: -

1) A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention before they die.
2) Barman issues new All New All New Celebrity Death Bingo Cards to members that request them here.
3) Deaths start from November 10th 2008 - i.e. no retrospective deaths allowed. The age at death determines the number crossed off the score card.
4) The dear departed must get an obituary in one of the recognised National British Daily Papers, on the BBC Web Site or Sky News web site
5) Players will post details of the dead celebrity on this thread so players can appeal the validity of the claim
6) The Barman's decision on any appeal is final
7) The prize for the winner is a bottle of Ardbeg donated by an exasperated Barman...

OK?

The scores so far on the (mortuary) doors… 

Mitch Mitchell - 61

Jack Scott - 85

We eagerly await confirmation of Charlie Harmon Brown's celebrity status...

[Uncle Mort]

ALL RISE ~ Judge Uncle Mort here 

After much deliberation 

Charlie Harmon Brown does NOT count.

Rule 1 states A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention before they die. 

He may have been famous once but isn't now. Rule 1 implies a current celebrity/fame status. 

Rule 4 states The dear departed must get an obituary in one of the recognised National British Daily Papers, on the BBC Web Site or Sky News web site

The L.A. Times does not fit the criteria.
