Claude Lombard, who represented Belgium in 1968 with the song "Quand tu reviendras", has died at age 76. The song finished joined 7th place out of 17 entries.

The Old Silurian. I spent ages trying to track him down when doing that updated list a few weeks ago, to no avail whatsoever. But other folk with far more contacts than I have hit a brick wall trying to find him, he genuinely just gave up all his acting contacts when he retired and nobody seems to know where he went to. It's a common name, with very little known about his life, so nigh impossible to track down.

George Cohen seems in decent health - still being interviewed on a fairly regular basis, and being a bulldog for dementia cases. On the other hand, iirc someone on here posted a pic of Ron Flowers during the summer and he looked like he had one foot in the grave already.

That was very kind of you - thank you. Everyone has recovered ever since, and we're doing great. All the best - hope you are doing well!

My own worldview is small, but learning about different people is always interesting. There's a lot of British and Americans that I've included on my list that I would never know about without this site. I'm not surprised, as a non-German speaker that doesn't live in Germany, that I might not have heard of this man. That doesn't make him unworthy of the Deathlist. I wouldn't include him in my own list because his condition seems to be well managed and he's reasonably healthy, from past interviews.
