If you still were in doubt about Awadalla being still alive, a man in the know confirmed he was living with his son in Dublin in June 2018. Mind you, the guy is an expert of Sudanese politics and very reliable. That premature obituary in September 2016 was complete bullshit.

No, but you can choose Tun Tin.

Leon Lederman is likely to be a unique for me here. I had the privilege to meet him some years ago, he was a humourous guy who loved to crack jokes. I knew he was in the end stage of dementia to the point he could not even articulate words, so it's probably better for him his sufferings are over. Oh, and he was very Jewish, you know!
-
New entry will be former President of Kenya Daniel Arap-moi, notoriously suffering from advanced dementia. The winning pick? We'll see...
-
I will likely update it on Friday as I don't have a laptop now. You can start to choose picks for the sixth round. Congrats to Utilizer95 who wins the round and SC's archenemy Babiker Awadalla who becomes number 1. And you tremble in fear, mr. Anh!

For Fuck Sake, stop it you hysterics. I guarantee at 100% it IS A HOAX. The same thing already happened some time ago. Calm down, it s just a troll. Don't spread fake news.
-
It is fake. The guy who added the date on Wiki is a complete troll who joined three hours ago just to vandalize Baker's page.
-
One of the most ridicolous things I've heard in years.
-
Dead. Sorry if this was already reported, but I could not find it.
-
Improving. *Axes the kitchen's door and screams "Here's Johnny!"*
-
I hope he lives to 120 just to see liberals eating their livers.
-
He was having sex with a 23 year old Romanian prostitute and I had never heard of him before. The whole thing was very exaggerated.
-
I'll have the final laugh!

Due to his activism against apartheid Clegg is far more famous than Downie. I did not know him before coming here but he's achieved a discreet level of fame, which means I can easily find Italian articles about his gigs, whereas no one in Italy had a fucking clue about Gord Downie. If Ruby Muhammad made the DL, Clegg can be on it without any problem.

Journalists of Vietnamnet have reached the 108 Military Hospital to visit Do Muoi. Finally, the situation is clearer. Do Muoi was admitted to hospital in April after he had persistent fever. Currently he can't speak because doctors opened his trachea to let him breathe. He is being treated for pulmonary disease and kidney failure. Though he can't speak he listen to the news every day and hospital staff guarantees he can understand.

With the recent deaths of Bejing Mayor Lin Huja and Henan governor Liu Jie there are now only 6 living members of the original Communist Party Central Committee. *Li Rui (1917): Mao Zedong's secretary, has been in hospital since the beginning of April with multiple organ failure. Profiled by BBC before as an important dissident. *Jiao Ruoyu (1915): Former Mayor of Bejing and still serves as a Communist Congressman. *Yuan Baohua (1916): President of Renmin University and defined "The Legend of the Century" by Chinese media. *Wan Haifeng (1920): General of PLA and Deputy. Considered a hero of war, took part to WW2, Chinese civil war and Korean war, as the commander of Chinese troops aligned with North Korea. *Li Lian (1920): Minor name. *Su Yiran (1918): Another secondary name. Plus, though he was not in the original Committee, State Councillor and Politburo member Song Ping (1917) is still alive. Song Ping is responsible for expelling from the party all members who supported Tienanmen protests in 1989. A real dick.

Proper obit.

Book a DDP late comeback with Goldberg, Tapie and Clegg circling the drain before December. Odds 1: 500
-
Queen Paola of Belgium has apparently suffered a stroke. Life is not in danger.
-
17 is no age to go.
-
BBC Vietnam dedicates an article to Do Muoi and it sounds like an obit. 2019 is a very hard task, 2020 out of question.

The last days, and particuarly today, have been lame as fuck. Only person I knew who died in the last three dies is Charles Kao, and he was not that famous either.
-
The previous report was fake, however Dilip Kumar has been discharged today. This was his longest hospitalization to date and he is still being fed through a nasal cannula, but his "life" is not in danger.
