Dead in yachting accident. EDIT: the fittest of them all was the first to die! Despite the rescuers' best efforts, the lake is dead after former president fell into it.

Obituary.

Not him, it was a local politician with the same name. Not less disgusting though.

Discharged.

First time I hear his name, but probably more famous for younger people, expecially American.

Yes, they've updated it.

Off life support and breathing on his own.

I want a bit of the drugs you are on.

Discharged.

Inventor of the first LED with efficience in the blue, based on GaN. GaN has a direct band gap, which means that in the k space the top of the valence band has the same wavevector of the bottom of the conduction band, which enables direct electronic transition (as the selection rules are "vertical transitions" unless phonons are coupled) and gives radiative recombinations of "excitons" (binding energy is very low in inorganic materials, it is exaggerated to talk about bound states) a decent rate, accordinf to Fermi Golden Rule. For an instance the most common inorganic semiconductor, silicon, has an indirect band gap, so you would need an awful lot of energy to directly excit the transition and the radiative rate can be neglected (no luminescence in silicon!). Organic LEDs (OLEDs) are the new frontier for LEDs. But I will talk better about them when Martin Pope dies and being 103 it should not be a long time.

Rumours of Yang Zhenning's death have been officially denied by Tsinghua University. No smoke without fire?

Yu Mo-lin to be discharged soon as her health has significantly improved.

Well, he is critical once again and not expected to survive.

Former Indian PM HD Deve Gowda hospitalised after testing positive. 87, but healthy and a K'takan, whose longevity is well documented. Discharged in days.

Oh, come on, some of you fuckers die!

Dead.

Fauja Singh will turn 110 tomorrow and here he is some weeks ago: Yes, he is not 110, but starts to look cranky old. He apparently never leaves home, needs assistance to walk and is not able to look at the camera, which is always a bad sign for old geezers.

Sarah Onyango Obama (1921-2021) That dork is not really my grandson! Age at death: 99 Known health issues: Spent the last two years in various hospitals because of diabetes. Suffered a severe stroke in September 2020. Cause of death: Complications from diabetes and a stroke. Alignment: Good person who cared about education for children. Obviously being an elder she was exploited for an electoral campaign, but that's not really her fault. As that guy was not really her grandson.

Mama Sarah Onyango Obama finally dead at 99 after three years in hospital.

Mwai Kibaki has been in hospital for three weeks to treat a "condition that affects his immune system". His secretary has denied it, but I'll admit The Star was previoysly right about Moi, Mahdi and Magufuli.

Brief update on Tin Oo: he was invited to celebrate Armed Forces day yesterday, but could not attend due to health issues. Those military bastards have got some nerve to invite the NLD patron while they are slaying protestors. Armed Forces Day resolved into a bloodbath with about 90 killed.

Chiwenga fully vaccinated, so he won't die of COVID.

Likely COVID too, as he was hospitalized along with his wife, though he reportedly tested negative. Just the flu apparently.

Dead. Didier Ratsiraka, dictator of Madagascar.
