Ershad's condition has deteriorated. See you in hell, fucker.

Mr Ershad Mr Balbir Both said to be "recovering quickly and headed towards full recovery".

Dull days, Sir, dull days.

Essebsi's health scare has now been downgraded to "fatigued by hot climate" and apparently the man himself asked to be hospitalized, only for check-ups.

Yes, I also read that, but he is a jailbird ad it's just a cold. Mulayam Yadav Singh is in hospital too.

Hospitalized again.

Felton memorial page. Probably suffered from Alzheimer's

And here are updates: Balbir Singh: visited by Governor, doctors say he is recovering. Ershad: Brother said he is improving and recovering. Essebsi: Counsellor says he is stable and recovering. Weekes: Situation was exaggerated from the start, they don't even know if he suffered a heart attack. Tahira: Son says she is recovering and will be taken off life support this evening. Only smoke, no fire.

According to his counsellor he is stable and "not in danger".

No. Government has denied death. He is alive.

Dead. Don't know if it is reliable though. IMHO it is not. EDIT: seems to be true.

God, there are at least six huge names hospitalized in bad conditions right now and none of them seems to die!

Well, at least 7 heavyweight names doing not too good right now: 1)Andrea Camilleri (1925): still on life support after suffering a heart attack. What chances of recovery for an obese-94 year old chainsmoker? 2)Gigi Simoni (1939): Italian football legend, probably on life support after suffering a heart attack. Rumors that he had died were floating around on Tuesday, but family denied it. According to his family, his condition is "very critical". 3)Balbir Singh Sr. (1923/24) The Hockey legend has been in hospital for more than a week and has now been shifted presumably to Chandigarh ICU where he spent 108 days this winter. This guy has been bedridden and dependant on oxygen for the past 8 months. 4)Hussain Muhammad Ershad (1930): the former dictator of Bangladesh is now in critical conditions for liver complications and a number of other ailments. Will probably fly to Singapore today if he makes it. 5)Beji Caid Essebsi (1926): Seriously ill after suffering a "health crysis" this morning. Already hospitalized last week but was "fine". 6)Sir Everton Weekes (1925): In critical condition after suffering heart attack last night. 7)Zaheen Tahira (1949): Pakistani screen legend (but the "who the fuck is she?" person of the bunch), on life support after suffering heart attack. Rumoured to have died this morning, but family denied. Never seen something like that before. Clean sheet after a little more than a year.

Obviously Punjab finds money for his treatment. Ominous that his FB page has not posted anything about his hospitalization, but continues to post about his lifetime achievements. Balbir had it coming from a long time.

Dead.

The last line of your post is the only sensible one. 1)Who the fuck is Hilda Hansen and why was she notable? 2)I'm not referring to a QO, which he won't probably get, but to any kind of obit the Internet could give. Legacy would be enough! 3)This guy contributed to Fantasia and Dumbo. And you define him a nobody when you spend most of your time here reporting deaths of very non notable people. Contrarian to the last, but you risk to look like a dork, you know.

Quon not getting a single obit is ridiculous.

Both Kress and Béteille get their obits.

Roothaan's death confirmed. Shocked about Quon still getting nothing concrete.

Roger Béteille, French aeronautical engineer, dead at 97. Gunther Kress, British semiotician, dead at 78.

On Wednesday one of my relatives suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and is now in irrevesible coma. Only 70 too. Yesterday my mother, who is already suffering from colorectal cancer and Alzheimer's, suffered an ischemic stroke. Bad periods are bad periods.

Charles Wyrsch death notice.

His grandma died in 2006. Sarah is just the third wife of his grandfather.

After a long indecision, I announce I chose my new favourite Asian dictator, who will be on my personal 50 for the rest of his life. Or my life, it's more likely. Seeing that gen. Prem didn't do his work properly, lasting less than 24 hours, I've chosen another die-hard Asian Communist leader as beloved general Le Duc Anh. Ladies and Gentlemen, the one and only mr. Khamtai Siphandon! That's me! I can't believe it! And now I should be all right till tomorrow at least. No, seriously, 2025 at least.
