Oh, thanks for joining the older posts.

Thread for Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve McMichael, better known as Mongo. Also known as one of the Four Horsemen WCW stable and frequent opponent/ally of Ric Flair. Diagnosed with ALS in 2021, looked dead for two years, hospitalised in critical condition in August 2023, his wife had him resuscitated in order to see his HoF induction. Now that he is in the HoF he has been hospitalised with UTI, pneumonia and sepsis, still he is decisively improving and will be discharged in the next few days. No one would have bet on him being still alive two years ago.

What I said? They just don't understand when it's time to let him go, and the HoF was just an excuse.

Popular Peruvian singer Susana Baca hospitalised in ICU .

Ok, very insightful updates.

Cecchi Gori d....ecisively improving.

Virgil suffered multiple strokes recently.

Ali Hassan Mwinyi still hospitalised, and doctors may come from abroad, but he seems to be in no danger still.

Unthank, Alexander, Ceccarelli not notable enough (unless she becomes WOLP). Harald, Fittipaldi and Buzzi need to impress me more. The other names could be suitable.

Why the ? in the dead tag?

Reported on the Spanish version of Wikipedia. We've been here before and you were wrong IIRC.

Enrique Badía Romero (wiki), one of the authors of Modesty Blaise, reportedly dead at 93.

They won't let him go even this time. His wife's denial is too deep, I guess she is ready to renegotiate a DNR order again.

Badinter, Malaurie and Dries van Agt are other notable deaths that spring to mind. But everything has been incredibly quiet.

Feb 6th has been the last significant day for me: Old geezers: Bensait Idder, Chike Edozien, Sir Tony Epstein, Jack Guttentag, Robert M. Young A-lister and immortal: Seiji Ozawa State leader: Sebastian Pinera, John Bruton Plus Donald Kinsey. That is a decent day for sure.

It's been undeniably dry in terms of deadpooling picks, A-listers, forum cult figures and, personally, immortals and state leaders. Three people who were only famous in the UK is not high standard. This month is severely underperforming and I'll be the first to recognize when it stops.

Sterling Cale dead at 102.

Damn one of the greatest philosophers ever! RIP you legend!

So far I can not remember a worst period than this in term of notable deaths...

Crosetto discharged.

Lenny Dykstra hospitalised after stroke, but doing well.

AHAHAHAH! WTF?

Deve Gowda hospitalised, but of course stable and improving-

Zdenek Zeman hospitalised again but for "routine check-ups".

All sudden deaths in young and middle age I knew and remember were pre-pandemic. There's really no increase in deaths, even according to statewide statistics.
