    44. Ted Turner

    Who will go first? Him or Jane Fonda?
  3. She's having serious unexpected issues. 2023 seems early but will struggle to live to 90.

    No and they have been writing this exact bullshit for at least seven years. They have no actual information.

    Leslie Phillips

    If Leslie survives Jimmy Carter he will be the next King of Immortals. This guy deserves it more than Tin Oo.

    African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

    Ali Hassan Mwinyi dead. Oh, sorry. That's Hassan Ali Hassan Mwinyi, a son of former president Ali Hassan Mwinyi. Close but no cigar.

    Mahathir Mohamad

    Hospitalised with COVID. But don't get too excited: he is fully vaxxed (although with Sinovac) and shows only very mild symptoms. On top of that, COVID is not the illness it used to be. Not a goner.

    The Cardinals Of The Roman Catholic Church

    One of the newly created cardinals, Richard Baawobr, hospitalised with heart disease in Rome and may need surgery. Not a good start at all...

    Military commanders

    A lot of them I think. Wikipedia, expecially English Wikipedia, lacks a lot of pages about them. Chinese have their own wiki which is Baike (Kuiqing has a long article there). Founding generals were appointed in the 50s/early 60s. The five remaining one are increasingly frail and old, but for some reason they seem to last forever. Wan Haifeng is one of the last living pre -1989 full generals. The other one is 93-year old "Butcher of Tien An Men" Chi Haotian.

    Lt. Gen Fu Kuiqing dead at 101. Sohu covered his life story in January. Was already a lieutenant general when Tien An Men facts happened. Not among the founding lt generals though.

    From Hong Kong Li Ka-shing (1928), Lee Shau-kee (1928), Lui Che-woo (1929), Kwong Siu-hing (1929) show no sign of slowing down. In five years they'll be at the top of the list.
