No, think there will be 1-2 death in the top 10 before her (likely Santa Cruz and Juniewicz) and Saturnino de la Fuente will die before her too.

According to this Virginia Ty-Navarro died in 1996. Avelina Gil and Josefina Constantino are quite borderline. Wouldn't be surprised if they die off radar.

F Sionil José dead at 97.

Robert Blust (wiki), prominent American linguist, reportedly dead at 81.

Discharged From your original post Kamini Kaushal was in bad health this summer, probably even unable to speak.

Discharged.

I think percentage of black supercentenarians is higher than percentage in the whole population. A definitive exaplanation has not been found (it was discussed on the 110 club various times).

Who's the oldest living WWII veteran now? Beside that the oldest man in the US is now Ezra Hill, who seems to be in fair health. Two men older than him, Lawrence Brooks and Melvin Campbel died in the last week. All three were Afroamerican. Strangely beside Hill all men in the top 10 are now white. Modesto Lopez Bautista claims to be older, but likely a fraud.

Lawrence Brooks (1909-2022) Pah...amateur! (Kane Tanaka on Lawrence's demise) Age at death: 112 Known health issues: Was in ICU with heart failure at 112. Survived and was discharged. Cause of death: Presumably heart failure. Alignment: Oldest WWII veteran and seemingly nice guy. Also seemed more lively than Joe Biden on the phone.

Kane Tanaka.

Nah, he was just caught in that corruption affair, was not really his fault.

Tanaka is seriously dead. Keishu Tanaka, former Japanese minister of Justice.

So now India is left with: 1)Three fraudsters clearly exaggerating their ages: Fauja Singh, Saalumarada Thimmakka and Pappammal. Despite this all three seem on their way out, with Fauja now almost unable to walk and dangerously thin, Thimmakka in & out of hospital for years and Pappammal on a wheelchair and visibly frail. 2)The mighty Shyam Saran Negi, whose age is even likely true. Rumoured dead at least six times, seriously ill since January 2020, but is the last original Indian geezer with a realistic age, so kudos to the old guy. 3)Two politicos born in 1919. Not heard anything from Paramasivan in years, doubt he is even still alive. Venkatrao is unexplicably alive, having looked like a cadver for years and lost his whole family in 2021. 4)A bunch of youngsters: Mani Kumar Chetri, Thanga Darlong, B. B. Lal, N. Sankaraiah, C. R. Rao, Pravrajika Bhaktiprana (who is likely a fraudster), all with their share of health issues. 5)The upcoming, most notably rationalist Ravipudi Venkatadri, who has seemingly started to decompose while still breathing. The decline in the last year has been swift.

Deathray???

Not names anyone outside these forums would define "big", but we have recently lost a discreet number of geezers, starting from Betty White. Barbara Chilcott, Hilton Cheong-Leen, Joan Copeland, SH Sarma all shy of their 100th birthday. Plus Njonjo and Zheng Min at 101. Not a bad start for the year.

She is trolling. There's only one solution for this:

Please don't feed the troll.

An almost 100 years old who dies in her sleep is a very suspicious thing.

She probably broke her leg while skydiving.

I'm happy to announce Kane Tanaka will join the list of immortals! That's overdue! Also happy to announce Robert Young is joining the list of dorks! That's overdue!

Hilton Cheong-Leen dead at 99. Presumably a unique for me in AO Deadpool.

Choose the anti-vaxxer, it never fails.

Hospitalised.
