Could be a hoax as I'm not finding any confirmation but Han Meilin (wiki), Chinese artist noted for creating the Fuwa dolls (wiki) who where the mascots of the 2008 Bejing Olympics, has reportedly died at 85.

Chuan Leekpai now hospitalised after testing positive for COVID-19, but his Onlus symptom is a sore throat, so he will be fine.

Mila Mangold dead at 114.

Hirohisa Fujii dead at 90.

This is actually no update. Of course you won't recover from Alzheimer's unless you are Ernest Saunders.

So naive....

I'm applying to become a Chinese ruling class cadre.

Also widow of DL forums 2018 award "taking longer than expected" Jon Hiseman.

Don Murray, Jerry Hardin and Bob Newhart are other big names. I always forget Hardin is still alive.

What other actors with a cult following born in the 20s remain? Those who spring to mind now are William Daniels (1927), Paul Dooley (1928), Earl Holliman (1928) and James Hong (1929).

That's a shame. Joe Turkel and him in rapid succession. Unsung heroes of character actors' world.

Dom Luiz of Orléans-Braganza's conditions are now irreversible

Jacob Nena dead at 80.

This means state leaders born in 1922 are now extinct.

Reuters for Echeverria.

Luis Echeverría (1922-2022) Did someone just run out of pneumonias? Oh, no that's a tragedy! (No one on Luis Echeverria's death) Age at death: 100 Known health issues: Suffering from cerebrovascular disease since 2006 at least, hospitalised multiple times with pneumonia from 2017 to 2019, wheelchair bound and frail in 2021. Cause of death: Natural causes. Died quietly in his sleep, a luck many of his victims didn't have. Alignment: As minister of the Interior in the 60s he was responsible for introducing extensive repression, which culminated in Tlatelolco massacre of 1968, whereabout 400 people, mostly students were mowed down as ordered by Echeverria and president Diaz Ordaz. Echeverria later admitted they were unarmed and the massacre had the goal of detroying the student movement. As a president, he held close relationship with both sides and Mexican economy improved rapidly. Nonethless, he sticked to his old habits and was the inventor of death flights, which were soon to be adopted throughout all Latin America. He also escaped justice for the rest of his life. Yes, a good person, summarizing.

THE MONSTER IS DEAD!!!

Mulayam's much younger second wife Sadhna Gupta is dead.

That's a big one in Italy!

False alarm: he has fever but nothing serious and will be discharged later today.

Indian superstar Vikram rushed to hospital after heart attack. Condition unknown.

No way he survives this. They are just delaying a death announcement.
