Thich Nath Hanh's health has been weaker since his birthday as he was diagnosed with pneumonia. The man is now hospitalized in Thailand for check-ups (has been there for two weeks), but results are "smooth" and "very promising" and he is expected to come back to Vietnam soon. Talk about the art of dying, fucking dork.

Legendary electronic pioneer of Popcorn fame Gershon Kingsley has died at 97.

Daniel arap Moi celebrates a month in hospital today, and this was around the third hospitalization in two months. That routine check-up is taking more time than usual, motherfucker?

Undisputed King of Immortals Dilip Kumar turns 97 today! Little update: guests not allowed to see him because they could bring infections, he can't speak but "communicates", has been suffering from a degenerative illness for 12 years and is now relying on a 24/7 team of doctors and homeopathy. Still he lives. https://www.thequint.com/amp/story/entertainment%2Fcelebrities%2Fdilip-kumar-97th-birthday-saira-banu-interview

If Ajoy Roy was dead at 12.50 a.m. local time I'd claim the victory as Entropy of the Universe would have been far lower than it would be when Karl Kiefer died. But gcreptile is right. Roy died at 12.50 p.m. local time, that's late evening in America and Kiefer died in the afternoon. God knows how I'd like to win this pool, but what is right is right. Congrats again, gcreptile!

Congrats, Reptile! Never trust an Asian, they could be dying for years.

Apparently fellow centenarian jazz saxophonist Hal Singer is not in the best health... (I know it can't be opened by Europeans. Basically it says he can't speak and, if I understand correctly from Google Translate, he is bedridden and "very tired")

Goodbye & Good Riddance.

Lata Mangeshkar discharged from hospital.

I don't think I'll win at this point. The old man could linger weeks on life support, it should have been already over. Probably there will be a surprise winner.

Uber-wrong thread, man.

And sense of humour too.

Yes, I confused him with his late brother. Thanks.

The brand-new generation of immortals created in 2019: 1)Jimmy Carter: melanoma which metastasized to the brain, fall with cerebral hemorrhage, urinary infection, continuos hospitalizations and being over 95. None of this thing suffice to kill the old peanut lover. 2)Lata Mangeshkar: spending a week on life support for acute respiratory failure and a month in ICU is not enough to kill a 90-year old overweight national icon. Another pearl from the country of immortals. 3)Balbir Singh Sr.: Acute respiratory and heart failure, 14 days on life support, three months in ICU, a heart attack and another fortnight in ICU, pneumonia and again in ICU with respiratory failure. Nothing is enough to kill a 95 year old man who breathes through a tube. 4)Daniel arap Moi: Repeated hospitalizations, acute respiratory failure and almost a week on life support, over two months in hospital, one of whom in ICU. Still no harm to the 95 year old dictator. 5)Leiji Matsumoto: Suffers severe stroke and put on life support. Two weeks later discharged in excellent conditions- 6)Manolis Glezos: 97-year old resistance fighter, neurological problems, in ICU with heart and respiratory failure, and great deterioration in general health. The natural outcome, he survives and is discharged in good health. 7)Desmond Tutu: prostate cancer for 20 years (!!!!), continuos hospitalizations for infections, 88 year old, but, no, hey, he is well and goes home again. 8)Everton Weekes: heart attack in June, minimizes everything, again hospitalized for medical emergency some months later, and presumably still recovers at 94. 9)Dilip Kumar: No one heard anything from him from over a year. This guy is 97 and was continuosly hospitalized for pneumonia and infections, plus he has late stage dementia and is likely to be a vegetable with kidney failure on permanent dialysis. 10)Hau Pei-tsun: severe stroke at 99, still going at 100 and no hints at a possible demise. Almighty science in keeping alive human cases.

Tutu to be discharged in the next few days. Another old fucker who survives hospitalization despite being incredibly old and ill. God curse this world.

Lot of big names dying these days.

On the mend according to some sources. Though I find genuinely frustrating that no old dick with severe illnesses who gets hospitalized dies, I honestly thought this was the end for him. The foundation announced he was in hospital after "battling prostate cancer for years", which is usually a pre-death formula (see Zine Ben Ali). I won't put my money on him seeing 2021, and I am usually very cautious with predictions.

Hospice care for diseases other than cancer is not a death sentence. Margaret Keane, Robert Graetz and Rembert Weakland have been in hospice care for years and none of them seems more likely to die than other people their age.

Updates on the two remaining in hospital. Lata Mangeshkar: Shifted from ICU to a regular ward, fully conscient and out of danger. https://www.news.abplive.com/entertainment/movies/lata-mangeshkar-health-update-legendary-singer-shifted-to-general-ward-from-icu-1117147/ Daniel arap Moi: fully recovered, but still hospitalized. Likely to be discharged as soon as Wednesday, the day family will probably issue an announcement (which is he has recovered, nothing more) https://www.the-star.co.ke/amp/news/2019-12-02-ex-president-moi-still-in-hospital-20-days-later/ Money CAN buy life.
