Abdessalam Majali finally dead at 96.

1. Wrong thread 2.

Julius Jia Zhiguo alive again on Catholic Hierarchy. Band of morons.

The image can be easily resized in this forum.

Wrong thread!

Very early stage, safe for a few years.

Chinese bishop John Huo Cheng dead at 96.

Ma Tinglu dead at 89. Down to 49 Nanjing survivors.

Awful. I've seen The Hurt Locker, The Town, Wind River and Arrival and he is an actor I always like. Hope he gets back on acting soon.

In ICU after stroke according to his archenemies at Jerusalem Post.

Yes, he is still suffering from encephalitis.

Keshari Nath Tripathi hospitalised after fall and complications, but seemingly doing better.

The only thing I really criticize is Vialli being left out as he is a dead cert with the appropriate level of fame. It seems too early for Linden, Duvall (why not Gene Hackman then?) and Dickinson, who is still unsinkable. Wagner is not that bad too if you watch him on Instagram.

Spanish actress Concha Velasco has been in failing health lately....

#21 and actual last of 2022: Jiang Long, one day before his 90th birthday. #1 of 2023: Fan Weitang, aged 87.

NC Debbarma dead at 80/84/87.

The Class of 2023 Here's the list we were all waiting for! 30 brand new immortals who have demonstrated their attachment to life through continuous hospitalizations, strokes, heart attacks, bouts with COVID and so on. Well, let's begin: 1)Kabosu (2005-2024): Kabosu the original Doge has suffered from years of CKD, has been unable to walk for months, now has leukemia and liver disease. Still, BBC reported he "miracolously recovered". Has she a bit of Indian blood inside? 2)Mario Zagallo (1931-2024): Years of hospitalizations and the last one this past year, with no one betting he would come out alive of hospital. A skeleton looks way healthier. 3)Dries van Agt (1931-2024): Chainsmosker Dutch PM who survived a major stroke in 2019. No one expected him to bounce back, and here he is four years later. 4)Dolly Doyle Brunson (1933-2023): Legendary poker player who survived stage 4 cancer in the 70s. Recently in&out of hospital with pneumonia, still unsinkable. 5)Seiji Ozawa (1935-2024): This guy has been dying for the last six year at very least. Diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2010, suffered from pneumonia multiple times, apparently has Alzheimer's... how the hell is she still going? 6)Nasser Makarem Shirazi (1927): When you search "hospitalised Ayatollah" you will find he has been in hospital again. In failing health since 2014, instead of being in a coffin he is now playing the hardliner against protesters. 7)Alma Adamkiene (1927-2023): Severe stroke in 2019, hospitalised at least five times for complications, very critical with COVID last year. Still, discharged and cared by her 96 year old husband. 8)Emmanuel Wamala (1926): This guy has beat Jesus as he has resurrected at least three times. In failing health for at least 8 years and a chain of hospitalizations in 2014/15. 9)Superstar Billy Graham (1943-2023): Liver transplant in 2002, bowel ostruction in 2006, terminal liver disease in 2010, fibrosis, heart failure. Hospitalised in 2014, 2016 and you name the year. Also known for exaggerating his health issues. 10)Yoshiro Nakamatsu (1928): Come on, he was suffering with terminal cancer in 2014! Also suffered a serious fall some years later. He wants to live to 144 and so far he is doing well. 11)Kenneth Cope (1931-2024): Also known as Kenneth COPD. When I came to this forum in 2016 he was already at the end of his days. 12)Mangosuthu Buthelezi (1928-2023): caught COVID twice and hospitalised at least five times in recent years, also death hoax survivor. 13)Yang You (1917): the doyen of CAE (Chinese Academy of Engineering), has been in hospital for the last five years. Also, how the fuck do you have a 97-year old pupil? 14)Nritya Gopal Das (1938): Since suffering from COVID in 2020 he has been hospitalised in critical conditions four times. Suffering from every known ailment more or less. 15)Chiam See Tong (1935): Is this a fucking joke? The guy was a mummy back in 2015, severe stroke survivor and looked dead in 2019. 16)KH Ali Yafie (1926-2023): Foremost Indonesian scholar known for a streak of bad health dating back to years. Also survived critical conditions with COVID, whereas his wife didn't. 17)Parkash Singh Badal (1927-2023): Obese Punjab CM, hospitalised five times last year. It is never the right time. 18)Francesco Merloni (1925): when he was hospitalised with the bad, early COVID in August 2020 it seemed pretty much over. Not only he survived, he also survived a serious fall which required weeks of ICU last year! 19)Shimon Baadani (1928-2023): In failing health for years, critical in October, discharged, readmitted after being resuscitated, now again on the mend. One of the few tou bounce back from "extremely critical conditions". 20)Cleopa Msuya (1931): he was on the brink of death in 2013. How the hell is he still alive? 21)Lucile Randon (1904-2023): Has looked the same for years, also survived COVID in 2020. 22)Ignacio Lopez Tarso (1925-2023): Colon cancer in 2016, repeatedly in hospital with pneumonia later. 23)Sheikh Salem al-Ali al-Sabah (1926-2024): Ask arghton for his health issues. 24)Thich Than Tu (1924): Vietnamese monk so frail Thich Nhat Hanh had to surrect him. No, really. 25)Hsing Yun (1927-2023): Chinese Bhuddist monk who has been in failing health after suffering two strokes... in 2011. 26)Giorgio Napolitano (1925-2023): Aortic dissection in 2018, hospitalised in 2021 and again in 2022 in critical conditions. 27)Zhang Lixiong (1913-2024): Chinese major general who spent a whole year in hospital some time ago only to bounce back sprightly at 109. 28)Gershon Edelstein (1923-2023): Skeleton who is the head of Orthodox cunts in Israel. Years of failing health, heart attack in July 2022. 29)Tu Tongjin (1914-2023): Zhang Lixiong's immortal companion, has been in utterly failing health for the last 14 years! Permanently hospitalised. 30)Charlie Munger (1924-2023): Warren Buffett's immortal henchman, botched surgery in the 50s led to him losing an eye. And as in The Lord of the Rings three eagles were sent to rescue Frodo, Sam and Smeagol, and one came back without a passenger, here there were 30 places, one for Benedict XVI and came back empty. So I'm open to suggestions right now, I'll decide later.
