Why I do believe he is dead: 1)Article gives a specific cause of death (pneumonia) and Kercheval was a lung cancer survivor. 2)It says he was hospitalized in Terre Haute before the most recent hospitalization. Too specific, again. 3)It says funeral will be private. 4)Sonny Carey is the name of the Daily Clintonian's owner 5)They named the funeral home and talked with a "spokeswoman". A hoax article would have talked with a "spokesman". So I'm convinced he is dead. Media will be quite slow to pick up the story.

Seems he is dead or they are goddamnly convincing on that site. Maybe I'm falling for some stupid hoax, but it is just too specific and there is the name of the editor...

What about this?

They put Do Muoi's photo instead of Le Duc Anh's! Blasphemy!

True. Bibliogryphon has him. All right.

Did you edit this? I thought you picked Robert Mugabe. If that's the case once a name is chosen it can not be changed (or it would be easy if someone falls critically ill and the first person who swaps wins). It is not against rule to wait that one of them is declaredly dying, hoping he has not been picked by others before.

Don Marion Davis has appeared in two 1919 movies.

I confirm Adnan Pachachi as my pick.

Twelfth round masterlist: Newjack: Hau Pei-tsun Ulitzer95: Daniel arap Moi Lafaucheuse: Tun Tin Bibliogryphon: Robert Mugabe Joey Russ: Jimmy Carter paddyfool: Prem Tinsulanonda drol: Adnan Pachachi The Quim Reaper: Yasuhiro Nakasone Clorox Bleachman: Lee Teng-hui theoldlady: Jules Sedney Sir Creep: Mustafa ben Halim

The problem with Fauja Singh is that he has not any known health issue. Usually we refer as immortals to those who are very old and very very ill. People like Tiwari, Karunanidi, Le Duc Anh, Richie Overton, the Swami, bishop Quinn, George Fernandes.... Only Dilip Kumar is left from them, and maybe Anne Hamilton-Byrne. Balbir Singh has proven to be a tough fucker, and the sad thing is I think he will live many years left as a zombie, slowly decomposing while he is still alive. In a few years we will be astonished by his staying power. But among the old generation only Dilip is left.... for how long?

Congrats, @Clorox Bleachman, you win the eleventh round. List to be updated and twelfth round to start. @Lafaucheuse and @CoffinLodger, you have to wait for the round to start before choosing your picks. Do you confirm them?

If I understand Google Translate right, Kim Yong-ju has lost his seat during the last generational reshuffle.

Mockford's will confirms she is dead.

I'll go with a sudden death for Adnan Pachachi.
