Dead. Obituaries: BBC

Sounds quite bad.

Jiang Zemin (1926-2022) Naive! (Jiang to those who thought he was immortal) Live fast, die Jang! Age at death: 96 Known health issues: Pn Sever heart attack in 2011, months in coma and long treatment. Rumoured dead hundreds of times, lately permanently in hospital, suffering from leukemia. Cause of death: Multiple organ failure as a complications from leukemia. Alignment: The human face of the regime after Tien An Men and toad lookalike who gathered a vast cult about his figure. Still, he liked to persecute Falun Gong and was high on repression.

Wow we are really in need of a major death right now

Yeah @MortalCaso, GAYYYY. Owned.

It is rather amusing watching people argue over something no one can prove either way. Rather like believing in God no?

If @arghton says “who”, you really are an unknown

Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, third Caliph of ISIS, killed in action.

Plus the whole body swelling up is ominous and indicative of end stage heart failure.He is also having trouble eating it said and was confused so clearly the beginning of the end at best Would be amazed if he was still going after the world cup final.

The Advent pool and the Midsummer one had entry limits which worked in the days of 2016-17 when we only had about 30 active posters tops per week. Now we've got over double that, and 24 slots were filled in 61 minutes. As it's one pick per person, my public suggestion is to remove the "total number of entrants" limit, and put in some ban about picking people only known to be ill after the entry period opens or something like that? I dont need a curse to do shite in deadpools!

865 days without a death. I now expect them to fall very quickly.

I blame @Bibliogryphon Asked for a big death...

15 minutes now, has drol died out of shock?

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING

Paging @drol

George H. W. Bush died on this day 4 years ago, aged 94. Virtually everyone knows why he's famous (41st US president), so here's an interesting bit of trivia: in 1944, Bush was shot down near Chichijima, one of the Bonin Islands of Japan. Eight of his colleagues were also shot down, and Bush was the only one to evade capture. The others were then tortured, killed, and then cannibalized by the Japanese officers (four of them were later executed for this). In a cosmic sort of revenge, Bush infamously vomited on the lap of prime minister Kiichi Miyazawa during a visit in 1992 (due to gastroenteritis), creating a new word in the Japanese vernacular- "Bushu-suru", or "to bush (vomit)". The final years of Bush's life were well-documented. He was diagnosed with vascular Parkinsonism in 2012, leading to his first of six appearances on the DeathList in 2013. In January 2017, Bush was hospitalized and therefore could not attend the inauguration of Donald Trump. He was out by February, and he and his wife Barbara did the coin toss for Super Bowl LI. Barbara died in April of 2018, and a day after her funeral, Bush was in critical condition due to sepsis. He would soon receive a service dog named Sully via a veteran's service program. His last public appearance would be to vote in the 2018 midterm election (in which Sully can be seen). Three days before his death, former president Barack Obama made a final visit to him. The next day, he refused to eat and refused to be taken back to the hospital. By the next day, his Secretary of State and lifelong friend James Baker came to stay with him, and gave a detailed description of his final day- Bush's conditioned improved, and his last meal was three eggs, a cup of yogurt, and some fruit drinks. Bush's health soon worsened, and noted singer Ronan Tynan came to perform two songs for him. Bush died at 10:10 PM CST, shortly after telling his son George that he loved him over the phone. Bush's state funeral notably made fellow DeathList alumnus and future hit Bob Dole rise from his wheelchair to salute him.

I think his daughter is trying to just dampen down the intense media interest. That or she is in denial.

G'day, mate.

Pele snuffs it in the next week or two and Brazil win the World Cup in his memory

Austrian A-list actress Christiane Hörbiger has died at age 84. Her acting career in theatre, film and television began in 1955 and has spanned over 130 film and television productions. This is a big one in the German speaking countries! https://kurier.at/kultur/schauspielerin-christiane-hoerbiger-ist-tot/402243030

You jinxed Jiang Zemin! How can we ever forgive you?

Excuse you, I won this round Siphandon please

I couldn’t care a balls either way so I’ll do the investigation. 1) Signatures change. Not everyone can reproduce their own perfectly over time. I certainly can’t. Not perfectly. 2) This photo of her 121st birthday. If this was Yvonne, she’d (only) be 97. No chance. This looks like something you’d find in a pyramid. 3) What’s really the point in lying so much, and for this long, if indeed this was all false? Why does it matter so much? What’s the motivation, particularly 25 years on, to keep it up? To conclude my impartial investigation: Jeanne was Jeanne and not Yvonne. Oh, and 4) If you disagree with any of this, please refer to the first five words of my post.
