He was also a former president of the National Congress of American Indians. They don't get much of the spotlight, but they are a big influencer behind the scenes. There have been 22 presidents total, with Earl Old Person serving as the 6th from 1969-1970. I am not sure if this group has been mentioned here before, but it is quite a rabbit hole to see who is alive and dead!

Take a deep breath. So, we have a death notice for Karin MacCarthy, actress who appeared in various television roles, but I will remember her as Kate Vavasor in The Pallisers and on a lighter note as Carol in The Squirrels: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/252763/maccarthy However, this death notice also points out that she was the widow of actor Rowland Davies, another actor from the first adaptation authorised by the Agatha Christie Estate in 1980 as Dr George Arbuthnot in Why Didn't They Ask Evans? and also as Earl Spencer in Diana: Her True Story, and Sir Anthony Chevenix in the first Johnny English movie. Now as of this moment, IMDB doesn't have Rowland Davies dead. I'm going to impose on @Ulitzer95 to perhaps find from the information on these two on IMDB to perhaps discover a date of death for Rowland Davies (born Richard Andrew St John Davies) and their reported marriage in 1975. And then of course to report it to IMDB, ha!!

I've submitted Karin MacCarthy's death to IMDb. That will be updated no bother. Rowland Davies.... Now his last credit was 2004 so I searched the GRO from 2003–2019. Found zilch. The birth record seems to be accurate. Richard A St J Davies b. Eton, Buckinghamshire in 3rd quarter of 1941. Married K. MacCarthy in Chelsea, London in the last quarter of 1975. The fact that his death isn't in the GRO, or Ancestry suggests he died any time between the last few months of 2019 and Oct 2021. The last trace I can find of him is living in Havant, Hampshire in 2013 (I used the funeral home location of MacCarthy to find them in the residency records). Starting to sound like a broken record, but the GRO really needs to be updated. They told me in February, it would be "updated soon".

As mentioned in Foreign Personalities, former Prime Minister of South Korea in 2015 Lee Wan-koo has died aged 71 from multiple myeloma. https://www.chosun.com/politics/politics_general/2021/10/14/S42NWCLTFZAHTE4DBKBP75VUK4/ He has around 20 living predecessors, youngest ones born in 1952: Chung Hong-won (1944-) 2013-2015 Kim Hwang-sik (1948-) 2010-2013 Yoon Jeung-hyun (1946-) Acting 2010 Chung Un-chan (1947-) 2009-2010 Han Seung-soo (1936-) 2008-2009 Han Duck-soo (1949-) 2007-2009, acting 2006 Kwon Oh-kyu (1952-) Acting 2007 Han Myeong-sook (1944-) 2006-2007 Lee Hae-chan (1952-) 2004-2006 Lee Hun-jai (1944-) Acting 2004, Acting 2000 Goh Kun (1938-) 2003-2004, 1997-1998 Kim Suk-soo (1932-) 2002-2003 Chang Dae-wan (1952-) Acting 2002 Jeon Yun-churl (1939-) Acting 2002 Chang Sang (1939-) Acting 2002 Lee Soo-sung (1939-) 1995-1997 Lee Hong-koo (1934-) 1994-1995 Lee Hoi-Chang (1935-) 1993-1994 Ro Jai-bong (1936-) 1990-1991 Lee Hyun-jae (1929-) 1988. And also dies before nonagenarian Chun Doo-hwan, the former dictator of the country who has the same cancer.

Death Notice for Sir Peter Gibbings (married to the daughter of the 2nd Viscount Lambert): http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/252793/gibbings-sir-peter-walter Interestingly, The Sun covered how, due to Sir Peter's illness, the family refused to run their horse Song For Someone in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but that he was recovering back in April allowing the horse to run in the Aintree Hurdle: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/horseracing/14562385/song-for-someone-owner-sir-peter-gibbings-tom-symonds-aintree/ Unfortunately, his recovery seems to have been short-lived (no pun intended).

Death Notice for former Air Chief Marshal Sir John Robson Rogers, aged 93: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/252767/rogers No real war service as I understand it, but rose through the ranks of the Royal Air Force to become Air Chief Marshal so there's that. Also, public school educated - was it different times back in the day? No is the correct answer.
