A certain wrestler will join the list of immortals next year... that is Superstar Billy Graham anyway.

Here's Abdoulaye Wade voting (for himself). Looks very good for his age.

Discharged. Of course.

Hospitalised.

Amelita looked good at Fidel's wake. Not going anywhere for a few years.

Sitting Indiana House of Representatives member Jackie Walorski dead at 57 in a car accident.

Zanardi's home goes on fire. He was not harmed, but "some of the machines that help him may be damaged" and he could be moved to a specialized centre in the next few days.

Delaunay's successor, Hans Bangerter, prematurely dead at 98.

And Russell in 2022.

Former Governor of Gansu Song Zhaosu dead at 81. Yes, we all expected another Song, former governor of Gansu...

Paddy Doherty hospitalised again. Not looking serious.

Choose your picks!

Since @The Unknown Man was the last one to pick Fidel Ramos, and he did not change his pick later, point goes to him according to the rules. New round to be started.

Fidel Ramos dead at 94.

Not even that. He vaguely stabilized and they thought prayers were saving him. In fact now he is very stable.

Also Julius Jia Zhiguo (wiki), who made the news after being arrested in 2009 (and released in 2010), has since died. EDIT: he was arrested again in September 2020, so must have died in 2021 or 2022.

Abdoulaye Wade back to Senegal. Also walks unaided and looks good despite the article defining him frail.

Environmentalist Simon Oraon (wiki), 87, hospitalised after stroke, but, of course, continuously improving.

Carlos Pairetti hospitalised with pneumonia and kidney failure, but not too serious it seems.

All very good suggestions. In fact Wamala, Nritya Gopal Das, Parkash and Weakland were all on my radar.

Juan Ponce Enrile finally... takes oath as chief legal counsel. And looks very good too. @arghton and anyone else, suggestions for 2023? I'd surely add dr NakaMats, Milan Kundera, Gershon Edelstein, Zagallo if he survives. I always tend to forget some notable performances. Anyway Yuriko, JPE and Satya Mohan Joshi have gone beyond human possibilities this year. These fuckers would not die even if repeatedly shot in the head.

René Weller (wiki) to undergo brain surgery. Suffering from very advanced dementia, half of his brain is made up of water.

Zagallo on the mend. Groan...

Tuvia Weiss improving. Groan....
