Thanks 2016. (not sarcasm this time)

I went for Harald V, gave a speech in September and still looking quite sharp, plus Scandinavia is known for longevity anyways.

Jannes Eiselen died in September, but I can't find a QO right now: http://www.mytvnews.co.za/jannes-eiselen-dead-skeem-saam-actor-dies-36/

Gabriel Badilla, 2006 FIFA World Cup for Costa Rica, dead at just 32

Ivory Coast footballer Laurent Pokou dead There goes another one on my 2017 shortlist.

He would've made America great again if he had succeeded in changing the system in 2012.

Pakistani mountaineer Hassan Sadpara now climbing the tallest mountain in his life

Don't get too close...

Finally 2016 is being kinder to us. Never been so happy since Zsa Zsa croaked it.

Bap Kennedy dead at 54 F**k, he was one of my biggest dead certs for next year that is at least somewhat obscure.

"Already doing better" is a euphemism for "feeling good, but will snuff it anyways"

1. Huston Smith 2. Zsa Zsa Gabor 3. Kirk Douglas 4. Barys Kit 5. Lupita Tovar 6. Reinhard Hardegen 7. Fauja Singh 8. Katherine Fryer 9. Herman Wouk 10. Ken Hechler

Changes made for my new list

Also diagnosed with cardiomyopathy earlier this year:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11731478 Definitely DL 2017 material if she doesn't get the kidney transplant before then, on dialysis for 3.5 years now and UK obit 100% guaranteed.

As reported elsewhere, Simone Schaller has died at 104. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffrontpage.fok.nl%2Fnieuws%2F749753%2F1%2F1%2F50%2F.html&edit-text= The oldest Olympian is now believed to be John Lysak as per CP's Wiki list. Somewhat odd that the first news site to report her death is from the Netherlands. She doesn't even have a Dutch wiki page.

Former MP William McKelvey dead

Multiple Wikipedia editors reported that former Burmese PM Tun Tin died (one of the anonymous users even edited the list of PM's of Burma to add his supposed death year). I can't find any confirmation, but it sounds believable that he is actually dead and I don't know about it given that he only served a few months and practically never makes the news these days.

King is dead, yet Zsa Zsa lives.

Turkish news site TRT is reporting him dead: http://www.trt.net.tr/espanol/mundo/2016/10/12/el-rey-bhumibol-adulyadej-de-tailandia-muere-a-los-88-anos-de-edad-588365 I guess this is another Islam Karimov scenario.

Zsa Zsa will probably be lingering until her husband dies
