    Come on, she did not even have an English wiki page before her death. Her fame is mainly due to marrying a President of the Supreme Court and reaching an extreme age, but she was not a top politician by any means. Song Ping is the only top Chinese politician in his 100s right now.

    Former Bangladeshi Minister of Home Affairs and Health Mohammed Nasim is not a victim yet, but definitely bound to be one...

    Wrestlers/actors

    He was 21 back then (1955) and had an intercourse with someone who was 16 or less. That doesn't necessarily make him a paedo, if it was some 15-16 year old, expecially in the 50s.

    According to some Wiki edits, Indian dancer Amala Shankar may have died at 100. Can't find any confirmation though, and that's strange cause it happened on June 4th according to the edits.

    The Dead of 2020

    Well, we should have known the Reaper would be exhausted. After all he took Hyun Soong-jong, Balbir Singh and Stanley Ho in two days.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Best known because the US send him to Parmistan to fight hordes of enemies on the basis every gymnast is a lethal weapon and the 2000 enemies he was facing could only attack one by one.

    MMMDP 2020

    No, actually this year picks are well below the MMMDP average. Who has the best odds? 1)Tommy Palmer: cancer hospice care means his time is limited. Likely the winner. 2)Killer Tim Brooks: really on borrowed time. He's the pick everyone need to beat. 3)Derek Draper: it does not seem imminent, but still good chance 4)Tom Smith: long time terminally ill, could go at any moment 5)Bhanwarlal Meghwal: still in a coma apparently, but stable enough to make me presume nothing is imminent The rest of the picks should need a lucky strike to score.

    Norman Lloyd is older than OdH and a famous actor indeed. Though Olivia de Havilland is a superstar and a dinosaur by all accounts.

    Donald J Trump

    He is likely to have some form of dementia. Reminds me of Ronald Reagan telling every time the same jokes about Russians.

    Donald J Trump

    Two of them are Asian, but hey, "white supremacists" at heart. Chauvin is heavily responsible, the others did not do anything to stop him, but demonizing them the same way is wrong.

    Political Frailty

    His son and political heir Lugi (????) Gizenga follows him at 54. Incredible longevity drop from generation to generation. Dilip Kumar wisely chose not to have any children or they would have died as teens.

    Donald J Trump

    Yes, my bad. The fact Timpa was "killed" by a black officer (among others!) is purely casual; that was police brutality and should have had more relevance. You are completely right on everything else.
