We still have hopes for Qin Yi.

Number one for 2022? Or number 2 behind Carter?

According to TMZ she died peacefully "of natural causes" and suffered "no sudden illness". Guess that's normal at 99.

Yep.

Please ban Dorky poster from the 2021 DL Forums? Cheers, and happy new year!

All those born in 1924. You have fucked around enough.

Shhht!

HoFer Sam Jones dead at 88, almost exactly one year after his teammate K.C. Jones. Only Bill Russell left from 1959-66 Boston Celtics.

BTW Pahor is now the 5th oldest living man in Italy (a 108 year old one died today). Doubt he will ever be the oldest, but the podium is a possibility.

Nope.

Two of them being vaccinated. If Roberts is vaccinated he won't die. I can't find out of he is or not.

She will hang on for an awful lot....

And now some musing on those who somehow survived 2021! Quiet, so damn quiet: Leslie Phillips and the dementia sufferers. Are they even still alive? You would destroy the junta, not join them! Award: Tin Oo. Come on, this cadaver is the only NLD official still free and held the hand of the not-so-nice dictator during thir long talk. Immortality makes you dork. The Art of Undying Award: Thich Nhat Hanh. The art of dying... three years ago. Just fuck off, old hypocrite. Survived hospitalizations this year: Saalumarada Thimmakka: suffered fall and ill health, could not be hospitalised due to COVID emergency. VS Achuthanandan: survived ICU, when he seemed done with multiple organ failure. Redeeming the bad Indian performance. Alberto Fujimori: was hospitalised 40 times more or less. Ordinary administration. Also his first wife died. Mulayam Singh Yadav: was hospitalised 40 times more or less. Ordinary administration. Yuriko: hospitalised with heart failure, made a full recovery in a week. Iron flower. Emmanuel Milingo: survived acute kidney failure in February Yu Miu-lin: was in desperate condition at the start of 2021. Now recovered (???) from blood cancer and terminal fibrosis. Death hoax survivors: Comical Bob: announced dead for the 46th time in March. Suffering from cancer (now in remission) since at least 2014. We know you'll still be denying it, but can't you fucking die already? Emmanuel Milingo: death hoax in February 2021. Recovered from a seemingly desperate situation.

Immortals: the 2022 class Here's the new immortals for 2022! I think 30 names is reasonable; list is in the making. 1)Nguyễn Côn (1917-2022): Vietnamese Deputy PM, looked like a cadaver in 2015, looks like a skeleton now, so much Vietnam media have to censor his photos for how fucking dead he looks. 2)Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-2022): major drug addict, father of 5000 illegittimate children and suffered major stroke in 2019. Honoring his namesake's legacy. 3)Bob Barker (1923-2023): Stroke in 1991 and 2002, prostate ailments and twice hospitalised after falling in recent years. Only alive because Sir Cunto said he wouldn't make it to 95. 4)Rafiq Tarar (1929-2022): this guy looked like a zombie in 2017! That's 5 fucking years!!! Widowed in 2020. 5)Shahabuddin Ahmed (1930-2022): looked like a zombie in early 2018, when he survived a long hospitalization for gastric hemorrhage. Reportedly gravely ill and receiving treatment early this year. 6)Violeta Chamorro (1929): has suffered from brain tumour for a decade or more, stroke in October 2018, completely demented and bedridden for the last three years. 7)Sidney Cooke (1927): this paedo bastard has suffered strokes and heart attacks and has been on oxygen for an awful bit. Wasting oxygen at 95. 8)Lawrence Brooks (1909-2022): surviving ICU at 112 and likely even recovering deserves a spot. Apparently terminal heart failure and permanently on oxygen. 9)Joseph Estrada (1937): survived being weeks on life support with COVID and subsequent lung infection. Invincible. 10)Paulo Maluf (1931): Brazilian politician and crook. Gets hospitalised with pneumonia 20 time a year. 11)Jean-Louis Trintignant (1930-2022); has been "dying" with terminal prostate cancer for three years. Just stop it, cunt. 12)Cesar Virata (1930): The third Filipino immortal after Juan Ponce "I owned a velociraptor" Enrile and Estrada. Survived a stroke and COVID which kept him on life support for weeks. 13)Wan Hangbin (1925); this HK freedom suppressing bastard was on his last legs in 2016! Now able to stand and walk unaided. 14)Mwai Kibaki (1931-2022): Road accident in 2002, hospitalised in critical condition in 2017, hospitalised again at least four times in recent years, 15)Boris Pahor (1913-2022): Will be one of the first to fall, but he deserves a spot for being the last famous person born in 1913. And this time I mean famous. 16)Zhu Rongji (1928): he might even be the good guy there, but has been in hospital for four years and failed to make even a public appearance. Suffering from a degenerative illness, God know which. 17)Yang Hyong-sop (1925-2022): NK cadre, now on a wheelchair. Speculation he was dying in 2017, then reappeared looking like death warmed up. Next big state funeral in North Korea? 18)Yan Mingfu (1931-2023): he might even be the good guy there (where did I just hear that?) but you can't be dying for six years (due to a degenerative illness, where did I just hear that) without finishing on this list. 19)Driss Guiga (1924): Tunisian Minister of the Interior, rumoured dead four years ago! 20)Kane Tanaka (1903-2022): Japanese immortal who has survived at least three hospitalizations in the last two years and her declared goal is to outlive Robert Young. 21)Ashi Tashi Dorji (1923): the Buthanese predestined immortal, which shows no signs of decline at 99. 22)Lata Mangeshkar (1929-2022): hospitalised in critical condition in 2019 and spent weeks on life support. Hospitalised with COVID pneumonia in 2022. 23)Kaikala Satyanarayana (1935-2022): hospitalised in September 2021 for COVID complications and a fall, then later in "extremely critical" conditions, with doctors "doing their best". Yet he survived somehow and completely recovered. 24)Wang Huo (1924): Chinese screenwriter who survived pneumonia and multiple heart attacks in 2021. 25)Khamtai Siphandon (1924): Laotian dictator who looked like a zombie in December 2021. 26)Mahathir Mohamad (1925): heart attack in 1989, heart surgery in 2007, chest infection in 2007 and 2010, hospitalised three times in two months between December 2021 and January 2022. 27)Yusuf Qaradawi (1926-2022): Islamic "scholar" who survived being in critical condition with COVID for two weeks in 2021. 28)Satya Mohan Joshi (1920-2022): Nepali national writer. Pneumonia, UTI, pulmonary edema and gastritis in 2014, pneumonia and heart issues in 2021, pneumonia and UTI in 2022. 29)Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee (1944-2024): suffering from COPD for ages and also has lung and heart diseases. Hospitalised in 2019 on BIPAP support with breathing problems and high bp, hospitalised in "very critical" condition and put on ventilator in December 2020 with serious breathing problems and lacunar infarcts, survived being in ICU with covid in May 2021. 30)Chaim Kanievsky (1928-2022): Israeli overweight rabbi who survived COVID in 2020. TBD...

The funny thing is now everyone will think he has died seeing the sudden activity of this thread.

Could be released soon... and not on health grounds.

Great, today only young people were dying. I thought Kuinova was already dead, good luck with an obit. EDIT: The FB post is an obituary, but on their site I could not find it.

The ones that want to protect the frail usually don't realize they are the frail. Italian anti-vaxxer radio personality Maurizio Buratti, aka Mauro da Mantova, died at 61 (Daily Mail obit) after being three weeks in ICU with COVID. His last act was to go to a supermarket while having high fever and try to infect as many as he could (he apparently infected none) while calling the radio station live. Mentally alienated and with some kind of retard, but I guess spectacularization of his stupidity led to an early demise.

Completely unexpected! He looked like the picture of health!

American ophtalmologist Stanley M. Truhlsen dead at 101.

Thought you were a DL hit this year, Murray!

That's three reasons then.

While he was on a wheelchair in 2016, now Wang Hanbin is able to stand and walk unaided and visits Tsinghua University with his 92-year old wife, formerly internationally wanted for human rights abuse in Tibet. NONE out of 24 has died in a year and a half. Ages ranging from 84 to 105. If this is not sorcery I don't know what it is.

No obits yet, but great American chemist Fred McLafferty (wiki) has died at 98. McLafferty's rearrangement is one of the finest understandings of chemistry happening in unconventional conditions and my favourite MS rearrangement (fuck retro-Diels Alder, who the hell uses cyclohexenes?).

Also James Dewey Watson's enemy. He described Watson as "the most unpleasant human being I had ever met".
