    Ideas and Possibilities for 2020

    Here's a short list of people who can not be scientifically alive. 1)Monica Vitti (1931): Ok, 23 years with Alzheimer's. I believe she has been dead for at least ten years. 2)Joanne Woodward (1930): she was in the last stages in 2015. Unbelievable. 3)Nobby Stiles (1942): Not only his dementia was so advanced he could barely speak, but he also has prostate cancer. How the hell is he still going? 4)Sumner Redstone (1923): Another one who has fought dementia since he was a wean. 5)Mustafa ben Halim (1921): Science suggests you can not be so fat and nearly 100. 6)Stirling Moss (1929): He was believed to be dying a year ago. No public appearances since.... 7)Le Duc... oh, why am I wasting my time here?

    Vera Lynn

    It was created in 2010 though. The whole Russian thing came up later.

    Vera Lynn

    50% of possibility of being true. The remaining 70% it is false.

    Mad Mike Hoare

    Actually Mad Mike saw the deaths of two of his historical enemies these past days, and they were probably the last. Gizenga was the commander-in-chief of Congo-Stanleyville after Lumumba's assassination and Hoare was hired by Moise Tchombe to kill those "communist vermin". René was the target of the failed 1981 coup, which was backed by the late James Mancham. Mike is definitely outliving the odds.

    Mad Mike Hoare

    France-Albert René, President of the Seychelles who was about to be deposed by Mad Mike, has died aged 83. Looked frail for many years, was worth a punt.

    Christopher Tolkien

    Actually I think there won't be many updates between now and his death, hence why keeping this thread is useless.

    Political Frailty

    Anbazhagan makes a public appearance. Looks awful.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Still nothing. Ok, Hollis is reclusive, but he is also an iconic face of the 80s (Talk Talk were one of my favourite bands back then). Hard to understand if it is real or not now, but surely I wouldn't be shocked if it takes weeks to be confirmed.

    African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

    Nujoma's mother actually lived well over 100, while mr. Wade's biography seems to be quite imaginative.
