You can't always predict what is going to happen. But someone created this list of predicted deaths for 2020.
There's a DeathList committee who puts together a list of 50 names every year revealing who they predict will pass away in the new year. It's not always very accurate - in fact, the record it holds is 17 death predictions in the year 2017 out of a list of 50 names.
A majority of names on the list have older ages, which I guess makes sense. The younger deaths that are bound to occur this year will probably be the most shocking, but that doesn't mean we're ready to let go of anyone on the 2020 DeathList.
This list does not mean the names on it will for sure die in 2020. These are just predicted deaths:
