Pierre Baldi dead at 103

Maybe, but I've noticed that her health appears to improve as the distance between her and Boris Johnson increases

So, at the earliest still a week later than our winning pick - no probs.

Current status of the Apollo astronauts from what I know. Walt Cunningham (Apollo 7) - In good shape and still actively involved in events and stuff Frank Borman (Apollo 8) - No longer appears in public since his wife's death, also the oldest living astronaut currently Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13) - No recent updates but I believe he's still doing well William Anders (Apollo 8) - Rarely appears in public so not sure of his status, seemed okay at the most recent Apollo 8 reunion. Jim McDivitt (Apollo 9) - Physically frail, but still mentally sharp Rusty Schweickart (Apollo 9) - Actively involved in public life, in excellent shape and will not be going anytime soon David Scott (Apollo 9 and Apollo 15) - No updates in a long time so not sure of his current status, but seemed frail from the most recent appearances I could find Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10) - Needed assistance walking in Alexei Leonov's funeral back in 2019 and looks to have clearly declined since then, looking extremely frail now and is clearly not standing straight Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) - In decent shape, still active but definitely not as much as he used to be, has slowed down quite a bit now Fred Haise (Apollo 13) - Still active and doing well Charles Duke (Apollo 16) - In excellent shape for his age, still quite active and makes regular public appearances, won't be going anytime soon Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17) - Same as Charlie Duke but in even better shape, I'd say he's probably going to be the last moonwalker standing assuming we don't have any in the next 10-15 years Overall I would watch out for Aldrin, Borman and Stafford, maybe Lovell, McDivitt and Scott too.

On this day in 2006 american singer Eileen Barton died aged 81from ovarian cancer. She was best known for her popular hit song in 1950 'If I knew you were coming I'd've baked a cake'. Her family roots were in vaudeville theatre- both of her patents were performers. At the age of 15 she appeared as a guest singer on The Johnny Mercer variety series and caught the eye of Frank Sinatra who took her under his wing.and gave her a a regular role on his CBS Radio show in the 1940s. In later years she performed on stage with the likes of Danny Kaye and Nat King Cole. In 1956 she switched record labels to Epic Records but rock and roll was quickly displacing many singers from her generation from the charts such was their tidal wave of popularity and chart success was finished by the end of the decade. In her personal life Eileen was married twice but had no children. Firstly to Dan Shaw an industrialist .Her second husband Lawrence Kane was a career criminal and a suspect in the famous zodiac killer murders in California in the 1960s..A serial killer case still unsolved to this day. She also divorced him and was unmarried at the time of her death.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu, aka Dr. NakaMats, is 94 today. He's a Japanese inventor, who some might describe as 'eccentric' while some might describe him as ' completely unhinged'. He claims to hold the world record for inventions (over 3,200), including what he claims is the floppy disk, before IBM (IBM denies this but has licensed 14 patents of his, but nothing to do with floppy disk), as well as an aphrodisiac to 'save Japan' amidst its declining birthrate (again, nothing to do with floppy dicks). In 2014 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and not expected to live beyond 2015. He also claims that he'll live to the age of 144. (I'm relying on you youngsters to keep track of this claim).

Former Indiana Mr. Basketball and McDonald's All American Caleb Swannigan, who committed to Purdue after initially committing to Michigan State, died at only 25 years: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10039393-caleb-swanigan-dies-at-age-25-former-purdue-star-drafted-by-blazers-in-2017 In 2017, he earned Big Ten Player of the Year honors and was named a first-team All-American. He was selected 26th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.

I mean, if they're still alive and have a new picture, or they were previously unknown names, then they belong here. But let's not do uniform porn.

Good luck, @ThereWillBeDeaths7. Well, I just want you to know that whoever wins and whatever happens, it was a pleasure to play with you.
