Gresini still critical, but has improved in the last few days after his condition took a turn for the worse at the beginning of the week. Sadly, I think he is a goner.

19-year old protester Mya Thwe Thwe Khaing, who was shot in the head presumably by the military on February 9, died after three days on life support.

I'm trying this, later.

Well, it depends how it was written. 1)It could be one of those prewritten obits which get published by mistake. In that case the indication about place, hour and eventually cause of death would be very sketchy or absent. 2)A Bob Barker over 90 died last week. It would be very nobbish for TMZ to fall for such a thing but... 3)Someone, usually reliable, may have informed TMZ about Bob Barker's death, likely basing himself on that obit or other voices. Or maybe not. 4)Bob Barker is in hospital and very near to death (not uncommon for a 98-year old in frail health) and TMZ only jumped the gun, or is searching for robust evidence. We will see.

Tebboune back to Algeria.

I am a Sir Creep sock puppet.

He is dead 86 years after founding his chain. Now that's pretty ancient.

Not in danger of life, apparently.

One of the most prominent historians and novelists in Italy, Valerio Massimo Manfredi, has been found unconscious at home with his wife, likely due to carbon monoxide intoxication. Condition unknown, but seems serious and rumours earlier floated about his death. Would be quite shocking.

Yes.

But it is true he is in ICU with complications from diabetes (COVID?). That fucking Mangosuthu Buthelezi will survive them all, he has even recovered from COVID, which killed a lot of Zulus by their own admission recently.

They are, expecially Tanaka. Dos Santos has been in utter failing health for decades, including terminal cancer (that was a few years ago, though...). She is the frailest of them all. Bot is not able to speak or walk reportedly, though she "does not take medication" (which is a usual glorification of random old geezers). Ford is another on the frail side, as she has advanced dementia. Juniewicz is a sort of medical miracle as she survived an undisclosed, very dangerous illness at 113. And received hip surgery before. Don't know about the others.

Already discharged. As for the "looking frail", it is total bullshit. He completely stole the show once again last week.

Confirmation, just to show no one would troll about Robert J. Lagomarsino.

There is a thread for sweepstakes.

Not an actual critic, but Khakhaleishvili died on January 11th and it was widely reported back then, though not here.

Stable. Was even discharged some time ago and went to rehab, but went back to hospital after suffering from further heart failure.

Last Malaysian survivor of Pasir Panjang Battle (wiki), Ujang Mormin, dead of COVID-19 at 100.

Well, aside from joking, she is a very likely goner this year. Still remarkable she is recovering when it seemed the end.

Hong Kong actress picked somewhere, Yu Mo Lin, is much better after spending three months on life support for pulmonary fibrosis and will likely be discharged soon. East Asian immortality, you know.

Like every Chinese new year, the old leadership gets visited or phoned by authorities. Jiang Zemin is the first name of the list, which includes everyone from last year except Cao Zhi who died last July. Here is the full list anyway.

No deaths, but Khamtai Siphandon is 97 today!

Gunther Schwagermann may be very much dead. Just no one knows exactly.
