    Death, Italian Style

    Actor Glauco Mauri dead at 93, two days before his 94th birthday. He was scheduled to act in theatre these days, but he cancelled the appearance some days ago due to "an illness".

    1. Jimmy Carter

    I hope it's just a mistake. The OP is a fucking cunt anyway. I'll never open a link from him again.

    My wifi says your link contains pedopornography. I hope that's wrong, and you better replace it anyway.

    Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah

    Nasrallah had the ultimate bad luck, as his death was completely overshadowed by the demise of a universally loved leading lady, organic farmer Pappammal.

    Why no Indians ever in DeathList?

    First of the big age fakers to go, I wouldn't have expected her. Saalumarada Is unexplicably alive after bouncing back from extremely critical conditions last year. Fauja and Swami Sivananda (how can anyone believe he is 128???) are still strong.

    Maggie Smith

    She was rumoured to be in ill health for a while. Let's face it, even if Judi Dench would suddenly drop dead it would not be much of a surprise, considering her age and past health issues. Other actresses born in the same period are getting increasingly frailer: Eileen Atkins, Sian Phillips, and the honorary immortal Jean Marsh. Joan Plowright and Patricia Routledge are quite overdue at this point. Joan Collins still seems unsinkable.

    Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah

    Hmmmm... I think this does not mean a war with Iran. Hezbollah is a militant organization recognized as terrorist by many states, and (formally) does not represent Lebanon. I guess there will be the usual lame retaliation from Iran and nothing more.

    Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah

    Iran is retracting their reports he is still alive. Hezbollah can not deny for too long. This looks like the end for him.

    Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah

    Hezbollah now saying they can not contact Nasrallah, and IDF believes it is unlikely he survived. Let's see.

    Alex Higgins (And Snooker)

    An obit was published and is now a 404 error, so I'd still wait for more confirmation.

    Who are the immortals?

    2023 will be the first to extinguish I think.

    Moved to another hospital, "deteriorating health", "high blood pressure", usual bullshit.

    Who are the immortals?

    Left from the very first generation of Immortals: 1)Jimmy Carter (1924): the King of Kings. Among his achievements, he survived metastatic cancer in his 90s, severe brain hemorrhage and has been in hospice care for almost two years. Apparently stronger than ever. God mode. 2)Joanne Woodward (1930): advanced Alzheimer's since at least 2008, reportedly in hospice care last year. Top tier. 3)David Musuguri (1920): diabetes for years, multiple hospitalizations, in hospital for months last year. Top tier. 4)Saalumarada Thimmakka (1928, alleged 1910): multiple hospitalizations, survived "extremely critical conditions" in 2023, almost unheard since. Top tier. 5)Fauja Singh (1928, alleged 1911): increasingly frail, still doing well. 6)VS Achuthanandan (1923): hemorrhagic strokes, kidney disease, COVID, survived critical conditions some time ago. Top tier. 7)Hu Qili (1928): on deathbed in 2018, survived a six month long hospitalization in 2023. Top tier. 8)Zou Yu (1920): very quiet and increasingly frail, was on his deathbed in 2017. 9)Gaositwe Chiepe (1922): wheelchair bound, advanced dementia. Did not expect her to carry on this long. 10)Chen Ning-yang (1922): years of failing health, massive fall in 2022. 11)Yuriko, princess Mikasa (1923): has been in hospital since March after massive stroke, recently survived an ICU stint with pneumonia. Top tier. 12)Maria Nyerere (1930): her bad health seems to be an old affair. 13)Raoni (1932): has survived almost everything including severe COVID and gastric hemorrhages. Underrated but valuable performer. 14)Sirikit (1932): we don't even know for sure if she is still alive. 15)Song Ping (1917): now ridicolously old, apparently did not have so many health issues. 16)Abdoulaye Wade (1926): still unsinkable, though he is periodically forced to deny his death. 17)Emmanuel Milingo (1930): kidney disease and impending death some years ago, mutiple hospitalizations since.

    Thanks for suggesting Brett Favre might QO. I've never even remotely followed American football, yet I know who fucking Brett Favre is.

    Who are the immortals?

    Ahmadou-Mahtar M'Bow (1921-2024) "Time to m'bow out" (Ahmadou's last words) "M'Bow was so old the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were under UNESCO protection during his tenure" (Directly from Ahmadou's resume) Age at death: 103 Known health issues: Wheelchair bound for years, bedbound for the last year. But back when he was picked as one of the original Immortals, almost four years ago, it was almost a bet on my part. And he proved to be a tough fucker. Cause of death: Crushed by a giant statue or summat. Alignment: Invested archaeologist, nice person, preserved culture, blah blah blah. Why could he not be a genocidal maniac like Fujimori or Khieu Samphan, this would have been much funnier.
