    French Deathlist 2024

    Still two Constitutional Council presidents over 90: Pierre Mazeaud, 95 this year, and Roland Dumas, 102 this year. Dumas is completely overdue at this point. Mazeaud was still granting interviews last year, seemed a bit frail but nothing worrying. He almost died when climbing Mont Blanc in 1961.

    Who are the immortals?

    Dries van Agt (1931-2024) "No one? Really no one? Zhang? Jim.... Oh, why the fuck I'm even asking?" (Dries's last words) "Father, when I die can I take weed to heaven?" (Dries very worried about his pot) Age at death: 93 Known health issues: Longlife smoker, survived a massive cerebral hemorrhage in 2019 back when his death seemed imminent. In a care home and extremely frail in 2023. Cause of death: Euthanasia together with his wife. Alignment: Very capable and intelligent politician who brought many reforms to his country while serving as PM. He spent his later years criticizing Israel and wanting to trial Nethanyahu at The Hague, being sometime a bit too condescending towards Islamic terrorism.

    Who are the immortals?

    Seiji Ozawa (1935-2024) "No one? Really no one? Zhang? Jimmy? Ok, I'll go then, you cowards" (Seiji's last words) "I'm saddened by the demise of famed director Toscanini" (Joe Biden's message of condolences) Age at death: 88 Known health issues: Diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2010, pneumonia in 2017, hospitalised with heart disease in 2018, lived the last ten years with Alzheimer's, wheelchair bound in 2023. Cause of death: Impaled by his own director wands. No, just joking, heart failure. Alignment: One of the great directors of the last century, and more or less universally respected.

    Yes, may be better to book the restaurant for his 150th birthday.
  8. Salah Tizani out of ICU, in full health and everyone who spreads rumors on his health will be sued.

    No, he received "longevity wishes".

    Joe Biden

    Biden is not fit to serve. He is showing signs of dementia and not even that early-stage.

    I think his wife is in very deep denial.

    Political Frailty

    It's ridicolous every Laotian news about his 100th birthday does not even remotely mention his whereabouts. In fact they would give the wide impression he is dead already, except he isn't. Surely he is bedridden, to the point they would pixel his face like they do with very ill cadres in neighbouring Vietnam, but I also think he must be on some form of life support or even braindead and kept breathing like the Thai princess. Anyway being a former head of state, the richest man in the country and the father of the current PM, his death could not be concealed even in what is a dictatorship.

    I guess the Hall of Fame for Mongo is like Rosalynn for Jimmy. Nothing will change.

    It seems he is in hospital and rumors he had passed started to spread. No one had enough brain to ask the royal palace for good 12 hours and here we are with another super old geezer failing to cop it.

    Hospitalised!

    Tep Vong will never die.

    David Irving

    That site is heavily biased. He has been hospitalised two months but now is at home requiring round-the-clock care. Nobody says he is on his deathbed.

    Giovanni Allevi appears at Sanremo festival after "recovering" from multiple myeloma. IMHO you never recover from multiple myeloma, but it seems he is doing very well at the moment.

    Death, Italian Style

    Maria Fida Moro, daughter of Aldo Moro, Italian politician kidnapped and killed by Andreot... the BR, has died at 77. The notable thing here is she was diagnosed with cancer 26 times as of 2012 and in the same year she had suffered two heart attacks. Definitely a tough one.
