Argentine meteorologist Eugenia Kalnay (wiki) reportedly dead at 81.

Yeah, but did she QO?

Ravens coach Joe D'Alessandris hospitalised with "acute illness". Probably nothing serious, but you never know.

I was gonna post how surprised I was John Tinniswood and John Farringdon were carrying on. Would have been the ultimate jinx.

Both him and Pascrell should drop the re-election bid. They are decrepit.

I'm surprised James Carter Cathcart is still alive. There might be more James Carter than we think in him.

Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah (1926-2024) "Who's that on the corner? Oh, don't worry, it's old Sheikh Salem from Kuwait. He has been doing poorly, he won't be there for long" (God to Adam and Eve)" "Sheikh Salem has recently undergone complete self-ignition but he is still doing well" (arghton, updating the forum on Salem's conditions) Age at death: 98 Known health issues: He had ICU stays atleast in the early 2000s and after suffering seemingly hypoxia and cardiac arrest (possibly also internal bleeding) due to severe gastrointestinal perforation he underwent tracheotomy (see around 1:13 in this video - that clip is from 2007) and following a two and a half year recovery at hospitals somehow recovered and returned to Kuwait in January 2010. He had hospitalisations in February-March 2013, September 2018, December 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021...in 2020 he was critically ill, Kuwaiti social media users have for the last few years been saying "I pray for his recovery" or something similar every time he's being talked about. (credit to arghton) Cause of death: Fucking Israel, they got another one of them! Alignment: Stone guest in the last 60 years of Kuwait history, he survived 5 emirs as head of National Guard.

Jeannie Seely hospitalised with dehydration and acute diverticulitis.

Former PM of Jordan Zaid Rifai dead at 87.

Paging @arghton.

Very very few of them are spared. Backlund seemed one of the fittest, now he's on the radar.

Natwar Singh dead at 95.

Ok, this is not the day.

Earlier this morning Ric Flair sent him a well wish message and reports said he was on the mend.

Jorge Rodriguez dead at 56.

Silvio Santos' sidekick Gonçalo Roque, 87, suffering from meningioma and "very weak". Has been hospitalised many times this year.

Issa Hayatou dead at 77. One day before his 78th birthday.

Nelson Serrano dead at 85.

Dead.

Theoretical physicist and Wolf Prize winner James Bjorken (wiki) reportedly dead at 90.

José Fernando Bautista Quintero dead at 61.

Gianni Meccia died some months ago, but it has made known just now.

Colombian minister and diplomat José Fernando Bautista Quintero (wiki) in coma after cardiac arrest. Already survived a massive heart attack some time ago and had major heart surgery last September.

Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee (1944-2024) "There can be only one perennial COPD sufferer, curry boy!" (Kenneth Cope) "Hold my beer" (Jake the Snake) "How do you spell it? Bhudd.. Buddadh... Fuck, I'll take him next time!" (The Reaper is unable to take Buddhad...Budd... well, you know) Age at death: 80 Known health issues: Suffered from COPD for years, hospitalised in 2019 on life support, hospitalised in very critical condition in December 2020, of course on life support. Few survive the dreaded "very critical" conditions, but he did. Hospitalised with COVID in May 2021 and, guess what, a bit of life support. Hospitalised again in "very critical" condition in July 2023. No one survives "very critical" conditions twice, but he did. Cause of death: Died after a few days of fever at home, which apparently did not require hospitalization. Ironic, but only for Alanis Morrissette. Alignment: Hardline communist, commonly known as "The Red Buddha". His tenure aimed at industrial development of West Bengal and he was behind the world's cheapest car, Tata Nano. His tenure also aimed at protestors, usually with a rifle, and this quite caused his downfall and tarnished his legacy.

The guy is just anxious about Bangladesh. I'd put him on life support as a precautionary measure.
