Looking at the Oldest Living State Leaders list on Wikipedia almost all of them seem to be doing very well or much better than usual. More than four months without a hit in the relative pool. Now that's a drought.

Hanif Kureishi discharged from hospital after six months.

Dick Hall dead at 92.

Big Pokey dead at 45.

Italian rower and twice Olympic champion Davide Tizzano recently underwent bone marrow transplant.

Gennady Kulik dead at 88.

Malawi's most important musician, 92-year old Giddess Chalamanda (wiki), hospitalised with pneumonia, but already on the mend.

Ram Chandra Paudel hospitalised again.

He looks very very good for a 103 year old with diabetes.

Discharged.

It's actually hard to find a photo in which he is not crying.

Emilio Fede looks awful while paying tribute to Silvio. He has played the "I'm dying" card for years, but it's probably time to start to consider him seriously.

To be discharged in the next few days.

Silvio's last photo, less than three days before his death. Unrecognizable.

Already denied.

Only Ramona Fradon (1926) and Jack Katz (1927) left from the Golden age of comics creators. Very good longevity in the group, but years passed quickly.

Whale biologist Roger Payne dead at 88. Best friend of Cormac McCarthy among other things.

Come on, it's Fakhrul, let's stop feeding the trolls.

Wife of former Italian PM and Silvio's archenemy Romano Prodi, Flavia Franzoni, dead at 76.

Harvey Glance now dead for real.

Ram Chandra Poudel hospitalised again, but will be discharged soon.

Khaleda hospitalised yet again.

Straight on the 2024 Immortals list.

Sita Dahal hospitalised again. EDIT: for a routine check-up, of course.
