Saalumarad Thimmakka now permanently on wheelchair and though they are covered I think her legs are dangerously swollen.

Well, he left a gap that cannot be filled...again.

He also sounds incredibly lucid. I honestly thought he had died off radar.

Nguyễn Côn (1916-2022) How sad and unexpected! (the average Vietnamese on Nguyen's death) Age at death: 105 Known health issues: Was in terrible health back in 2017, wheelchair bound and likely paralyzed. Completely bedridden by 2021 and government censored his face for how bad he looked. Cause of death: I suspect foul play. Alignment: We all appreciated his performances in The Mummy and its awful sequels.

Jinxed it.

Well, that's your Nguyễn Côn finally fucking dead.

Akhenaton still an ardent anti-vaxxer despite time spent in ICU. He said he would refuse to be put on life support if needed, so keep space on your lists.

She looks very tired, expecially considering how lively she was just some months ago. Still if Nguyen Con can survive, so can she.

Mark Forest (wiki), American bodybuilder and prominent peplum movies actor, reportedly dead at 89.

Come on, this guy is no Sidney Potter.

There's no formal obit around. A bit too early for a "dead" tag, though I don't doubt it's true.

Nursultan has not left the country.

Mao's daughter in law Liu Siqi dead at 91.

Reading their comments after yet another useless preventable stupid death is depressing. These people cannot be redeemed. Proofs over proofs they are dorks, and nothing to do. The self-limiting community. Wonder how did the society create these monsters, what went wrong.

Current far right French deputy José Évrard dead of COVID at 76. Read a bit of his recent tweets. Yet another anti-vaxx imbecil, to the surprise of no one.

Judging by the grammar, a reader would probably infer I'm Murican.

Lee Grant from In the Heath of the Night is cranky old now. Wouldn't surprise me as a "sudden" death.

Yep.

Hospitalised.

Now they can be distinguished as one is alive and the other dead. For some months.

First huge death of a promising year.

She is a 87-years old adamant anti-vaxxer, so that might be risky.

DJ Kay Slay (wiki) on life support with COVID. Might be a case again, but he is not vaccinated.

Whang-od and Juan Ponce Enrile seems the toughest and both still pretty active (that Wangh-od still works daily, see on Twitter). Actually I read somewhere Whang-od does not exactly know when she was born and 1917 is a "fixed" date. She was actually born "between 1917 and 1925".
