Actor Dinesh Phadnis (wiki) on life support after heart attack, but improving.

Good luck with an obit. Seems the kind of personality who just gets blatantly ignored.

Congrats for finding news about Hu Qili! He had just been discharged from hospital in September, marking I think more or less a 9-month hospitalization (he was in critical condition in January, when his wife died). Du Daozheng is a very good suggestion. EDIT: also got a message from the reclusive Tian Jiyun. It seems they are old enough to not give a fuck about censorship.

Was exactly expecting this when I saw this thread posted by Thatcher.

So what was the point of a comment underlining the mentioned people were not "famous enough" in a a pool where there are no fame requirements? You choose people who are ill here, not people who are famous.

There are some vacant positions for next year, therefore suggestions are welcome.

Mamdouh bin Abdulaziz al Saud dead at 83.

Quintessentially stupid comment. This DP has no fame requirements and anyway the name I mentioned are leagues above some of those who were picked. Mitta and Solomin are among the most significant personalities of Soviet cinema. Ignorance is not a virtue to show, at all.

@Lewd_Squirrel, you mentioned Robert Fucking Solow twenty-five times in the last two years. Should I remember you you also created a thread for the man of your dreams?

Mikhail Marov dead at 90. How the hell didn't he have an English wiki page?

Very surprised there are no Vijayakanth, Thanga Darlong, Alexander Mitta and Yury Solomin. Stafford is the classiest pick. Cranky old A-lister, in failing health for years and I completely missed he's in ICU.

Rohit Bal.

Ok, he was sent home to die.

The last video of him I could find is from July... suspicious, he made frequent appearances.

Henry Kissinger (1923-2023) "Henry Kissinger, how much I'm missing yer... you're like a German parakeet" (The Final rip-off) "Thank you, Sir!" (Philip J. Fry, being thanked by Henry after rescuing his head) "Thank you, Sir!" (Pinochet after seizing power in Chile thanks to Henry) Age at death: 100 Known health issues: Triple bypass surgery in 1977, heart attack in 2000, fall in 2013, heart surgery in 2014. Wheelchair bound and obese for years. Cause of death: His head sunk into his chest. Alignment: Machiavellian even by Machiavelli's standards, Kissinger is behind Operation Condor, the extensive bombing of Cambodia which then led Khmer Rouges to power (I just put here an invitation for Khieu Samphan to follow him ASAP), the invasions of Timor East and Cyprus, the sabotage of Vietnam peace talks. In other words he was the devil. Today he is mourned by... well, by Putin and Xi Jinping, which tells you how good he was.

Dean Sullivan dead at 68.

The black spot is nothing unusual in older people, especially if they assume blood thinners. I'd be more worried he looks already dead.

Sternhagen is finally the first faller. @Joey Russ and @MortalCaso chose the wrongest one.

American jazz musician John Colianni (wiki) reportedly dead at 61.

Not a criticism; I just wanted to say she has a history of exaggerating her illness.

Yeah, it's just the 45th times it happens for her.

52 days of drought again. Since the last poll, only Bob Barker, Mangosuthu Buthelezi and Giorgio Napolitano have died, before a two-months drought which is still ongoing. With half of them hospitalised, in ICU, in hospice care or even zombified, who will be the next to break the drought?

Congrats to @no one, who guessed it right!

Charlie Munger (1924-2023) "I want you to look at me like Warren Buffett looks at Charlie Munger" (Every girl's romantic dream) That fucking CRYPTO-DOG!!!! (Charlie Munger's, a well known detractor of cryptocoins, last words) Age at death: 99 Known health issues: Lost one eye due to botched surgery in the 50s, frail and wheelchair bound in recent years, looking half dead in 2023. Cause of death: Wrong investment policy Alignment: Ethernal sphynx who presided over Berkshire Hathaway along with his master Warrenn Buffett for 45 years. It will feel strange to see an empty chair near to Buffett at the next shareholders meeting.
