Peterson Zah, former Navajo Nation President, dead at 85. Outlived by ancient crook Peter MacDonald who was in "failing health" in 2001 after suffering multiple heart attacks and diabetes complications. (The Fujimori way of failing health) but since that he's outlived six of his immediate successors.

Micky Dolenz, the stupendous American actor, director, entrepreneur, musician and producer, known as the drummer, principal lead singer and last surviving member of the hugely successful pop/rock band "The Monkees", which originated from the classic sixties TV show of the same name, is 78 today. Andrea Parker, the attractive American film and television actress, who started her career in the world of entertainment as a professional dancer, a versatile performer with important roles on "ER", "The Pretender", "Less Than Perfect", "Desperate Housewives" and "Pretty Little Liars", is 53 today.

Augusto Lauro (wiki) dead at 99. Yet another 1923 name not making it to 100.

From the same paper that brought you this:

Johanna Mazibuko dead at 128 and straight to QO.

I tricked it into giving me a list of “humorous” headlines (took a few attempts but the movie script worked https://www.wikihow.com/Bypass-Chat-Gpt-Filter ) "Jimmy Carter Outlives Yet Another Doomsday Prediction" "Jimmy Carter Passes Away, Leaves World Confused About Who Will Fix Mess He Left Behind" "Jimmy Carter's Death Causes Surge in Peanut Butter Sales" "Jimmy Carter Goes Down in History as the Oldest Peanut Farmer to Ever Live" "Jimmy Carter Dies, Finally Joins 'Cool' Kids Club in Heaven" "Jimmy Carter Goes to Meet Rosalynn in the Sky, Confirms Existence of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches in Heaven" "Jimmy Carter Passes Away at 98, World Reacts With Shock That He Wasn't Already a Centenarian" "Jimmy Carter Dies, Peanut Farmers Everywhere Mourn Their Hero" "Jimmy Carter Leaves Behind Legacy of Love for Country, Peanut Butter, and '80s Rock Music" "Jimmy Carter Passes Away, World Mourns Loss of Last Politician to Use a Typewriter" Apparently it thinks he’ll outlive Rosalynn! “Peanut farmers everywhere mourn their hero” is my personal favourite. Those brave peanut farmers!

Douglas Hurd is 93.

Updated entry for the death of Stevie Marsh. I was fairly confident she had died decades ago, but I wanted a concrete answer, and I got it after much digging in the British newspaper archives looking for clues, then using them to pull out her records. She died in May 2020 aged 94, just 3 months after I posted her entry on here. I also updated The Temperance Seven entry the other day after finding concrete evidence of the death of "Canon" Colin Bowles, their pianist. He died in the 1980s! I've had it confirmed to me now (via someone in the know) that there are three members of that group from their hit-making days still alive (Harrison, Bevan and Gieves-Watson). All aged in their mid to late 80s. Another entry more or less complete then. I think it's unlikely I will ever get to the bottom of every entry on this project, but there are fewer blanks each year as I do more revisions and research. Really happy with it tbh... but some will likely remain mysteries forever. Suzi Miller, Jamo Thomas, Linda Carr, and Ping Ping being some examples of ones I don't expect to solve.

Alipio Vera, Chilean journalist and war correspondant (Nicaraguan Revolution, Salvadoran Civil War, Rwandan genocide, 1991 Soviet coup attempt, Iraq War and War in Afghanistan) hospitalised after suffering a stroke, said to be a complication from a quadruple bypass surgery he had under two weeks ago. In "complex state".

After numerous attempts to get a humorous account of his funeral, I finally got this: It was a somber day in Plains, Georgia as friends, family, and dignitaries gathered to mourn the passing of former President Jimmy Carter. The service was held at the Maranatha Baptist Church, the same church where Carter has been a member for over 70 years. As the mourners took their seats, a hush fell over the room. Suddenly, the doors burst open and in walked a man wearing a peanut costume. The man ran down the aisle, throwing peanuts at the crowd. The peanut thrower was quickly subdued by security, but not before he yelled out, "Jimmy loved peanuts! He wouldn't have wanted us to be sad!" The incident set a light-hearted tone for the rest of the service, with several speakers sharing funny stories about Carter's love of peanuts and his quirky sense of humor. As the service drew to a close, the pallbearers lifted Carter's casket and began to make their way outside to the burial site. Suddenly, the casket slipped and fell to the ground, causing a collective gasp from the mourners. Just as everyone thought the worst had happened, Carter's hand shot out of the casket and gave a thumbs up. It turned out that Carter had arranged for a secret compartment in the casket to play one final joke on his loved ones. The mourners couldn't help but laugh and smile, knowing that even in death, Jimmy Carter was still making them laugh. As they laid him to rest, they knew that the world had lost a great man, but his legacy would live on forever.

I asked ChatbotGPT for some headlines, and it came up with this. They're fucking terrible: Peanut Farmer Finally Kicks the Bucket: Jimmy Carter OK with It Former President Carter's Last Campaign: The One-Way Ticket to the Afterlife The Final Chapter: Jimmy Carter Checks Out and Smiles No More Peanut Butter Dreams: Jimmy Carter Passes Away Heaven Gets a New Habitat as Jimmy Carter Leaves the Earth The Peanut Gallery Goes Silent: Jimmy Carter's Life Comes to a Close Jimmy Carter Bids Farewell to the White House and Hello to the Pearly Gates Former President Peanut Goes to the Great Beyond Jimmy Carter Leaves Us in Good Hands (or Should We Say Wings) President Carter Leaves a Legacy, and a Hearty Appetite for Eternal Peace

She looks like a 90 year old. She may last a while.

I am with Sir Creep on this one he is very old and has heart problems.I also think that he is too big a name to take off and risk embarrassment also.
