Gaston Glock dead at 94.

Here's my late Christmas gift: Vijayacunt hospitalised again.

The 30 new immortals for 2024 have been decided! A brief recap of immortal folks who survived illnesses and hospitalizations this past year. Performance of the year: Jimmy Carter Entered hospice care in February and everyone thought the end would come within a few hours. It's been almost a year. Survived his wife Rosalynn in November, appeared to be very frail at her funeral and everyone thought the end would come within a few hours. He has been beating the odds for almost nine years, has been the King of Immortals for more than two, remains the unparalled immortal. Runner-up: Saalumarada Thimmakka Hospitalised in critical condition with respiratory failure, had heart attack while in hospital, underwent heart surgery, went "extremely critical"... none of this could ultimately finish her off, defying every existing physical law. Third-place: Kabosu the Original Doge The Doge was on the brink of death seven canine years ago, she recovered from leukemia and CKD, has looked like a zombie dog for years, but currently only suffers from minor ailments apparently. Out of Ratzinger, Pelé and Kabosu only Kabosu survives from those who were critical in December 2022. Zhang Lixiong Turned 110 and survived six months in ICU. Permanently on oxygen, last three years in hospital, advanced dementia. Another one who has defined the law of physics for some time. Joanne Woodward This underrated perfomer was said to be in hospice care and in her final days back in February. Although everyone who knows a bit about immortals could have smelt a rat instantly, her performance as a perennial late-stage Alzheimer's sufferer is remarkable, especially now that she has buried Vitti and Sevilla. Ma Shitu He bounced back from a severe illness which affected his memory, probably a stroke. At 108. What else do I need to say? David Musuguri Survived a month-long diabetes hospitalization at almost 104. Still looks younger than his age. Hu Qili Survived a nine-month long hospitalization which included a bout with COVID that instead killed his wife. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee Survived hospitalizations in critical condition and being on life support despite late-stage COPD. Mario Zagallo Survived UTI despite decrepitude and extreme respiratory failure.

Armando Guadiana dead at 77.

One for 2024 DL? Surely old and famous enough, and had his fair share of health issues.

French geologist Paul Tapponier (wiki) reportedly dead at 76.

A bit overdue, still surely sad for all of you who were his fans.

1. Jimmy Carter 2. Derek Draper 3. Jonnie Irwin 4. Frank Field 5. Steve McMichael 6. Michael Tilson Thomas 7. Alexander Mitta 8. Jayapataka Swami 9. Black Bart 10. Pat Dodson Subs: Simon Cowell, Yury Solomin

Deathless Christmas ever.

Hard to understand for common humans, but Siphandone is very much alive, though I agree he must be in extremely failing health by now. Manolic's family insists he is in perfect health, but he's been overdue for a long time.

Pravrajika Amalaprana dead at 94.

More than three months without a hit... impressive.

Surely true , but media are sleeping.

Bonda Mani dead at 60.

Out of this list Borisova, Amiranashvili, Klimov and now Kajlayev are all dead. The circle is really narrowing around Pakhmutova.

Do you call that an "update"?

Mike Nussbaum obituary .

Not the same Sylvia Fein I think. The one with a wiki page was born in 1919.

Catalan theologian Frederic Raurell (wiki) reportedly dead at 93.

Giancarlo Tesini dead at 94.

Former Salvadoran minister of defence Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova dead at 86. A nice CV of murder, torture and rape on his part. For "The Good Die Young" series his even more reviled predecessor, José Guillermo García turned 90 in June.

Carmen Barros dead at 98.

Crikey, Fauja Singh three men away from being the world's oldest man...

Zhu Nansun dead at 102.

Discharged .
