Italian minor bishop Delio Lucarelli, 84, in hospice care.

His wife has died (hence the mistake) and she was born in 1929. So, yes, 1926 likely correct.

You are completely right. Emanuele Catarinicchia dead at 97.

Melchior Shi Hongzhen was very much alive in late 2022, but still he is an underground bishop, so high possibility to die off-radar.

Could be.

This year sucks so much with deaths that Elahi Bux Soomro has come back to life.

This means Don Vicente is the last obstacle between Fauja Singh and the World's Oldest Living Man title. New oldest man in US is Otis Randall, an African American who is also the last American man born in 1913. Clayton Flowers is moving closer to the American top 10 (now at #12). Don't know how is it possible, but in December he looked the best he has looked like in years.

Being put on the Immortals list for them is like eating Super Mario mushroom.

I tried Donlon last year and was rejected.

Thatcher posted in the Immortals thread and it is not an immortal death. I'm going crazyyyyyy.

Also John Boorman is still going at 91.

People I knew who died in the last week: 25th: Elahi Bux Soomro (vaguely read the name, minor figure of Pakistan politics) 24th: Carl Andre (fairly significant), Herbert Coward (one-role actor, minor cult figure) 23rd: Frank Farian (significant yet not A-lister), Charles Fried (vaguely heard, minor) 22nd: Jagdish Gandhi (only because he was ill), Arno Penzias (B-lister even among Nobel Prizes), Gigi Riva (huge in Italy TBF) 21st: Roger Rogerson (mainly because of ill health). This day was completely deadbeat. 20th: Choe Thae-bok (big in NK), David Emge (again one-movie actor), Devaki Krishnan (only beacuse cranky old, very minor politician), Nathaniel Fiennes (only based on old age) 19th: Jack Burke (only for old age) 18th: Amnon Rubinstein (thanks to @arghton) Yes, it's been a very weak period.

Herbert Coward, who played the Toothless Man who likes squealing pigs, dead at 85 in car crash.

Congrats to all of you, you are incredible. Now for the love of God, please, fuck off and die.

Richard Rohmer turned 100 today and is currently hospitalised .

Sara Rus dead at 96.

@Sir Creep (the artist formerly known as Sir Cunto), can I have one of your wonderful explanations about your angry reaction to the above post?

Spade, I've decided to leave to you the post about Ice Train's death.

Winfield Dunn was on my radar as he was diagnosed with a faulty valve in his 20s (just like yours truly) and did not get surgery until he was 84. I think he has now exceeded every expectation.

Wang Jingqun dead at 104.

Condolences to you and yours.

May be too early but Gianni Rivera has still not commented on Riva's death. Comments arrived from Zoff, Sacchi, Boninsegna, Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi.

Martin looks twenty years older than his age.

Aged like milk.
