Here is a Telegraph article of an interview with her daughter. Since it's behind a paywall I'll list the main points, although apologies as I'm not sure how much of this, if any, is new information; Dame Vera lives in the same house as her daughter, and occupies the ground floor, but it states she now uses an electric wheelchair. Her daughter says whilst she is frail, her mind is completely sound and she continues to personally read correspondence. She also still insists on wearing make-up, and will not meet anyone without it. For pushing on 100, she seems to still be doing remarkably well.

Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
Thatcher replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
If Mr Corbyn feels like he's had a bad day, he needs to remember it could be worse. He could be the leader of the Dutch Labour Party instead, who according to the exit polls have gone from 38 seats to just 9, taking only 6% of the vote. -
Enrique Morea, Argentinian winner of the Mixed Doubles at the French Open (1950), and 3 time runner up at Wimbledon (1952, 1953, 1955), has died aged 92. I believe he was picked in one of the pools.

Felicia O'Dell, also known as Auntie Fee, who runs a popular Youtube Cooking Channel, and has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and Steve Harvey, was reported to have died of a heart attack aged 59 according to TMZ. However, TMZ has now changed their story to say she is on life support. The Daily Mirror is covering this story, so if she does die I guess she'd get an obituary.

Not as pessimistic as I imagine Sturgeon is after Day 1 of Indy2.

Must reapply for membership of the EU - including accepting Schengen Agreement and Euro as currency. Must reapply for membership of NATO. Oil is worth it's lowest in some time, which formed a main part of their economic plan. Nicola Sturgeon's popularity is dropping. She's now an official liar - or she spoke a load of bullshit in 2014, one of the two. This tells the real story I think. There has been no substantial change in the polls to indicate a swing should there be a 2nd Independence Referendum, and in fact the polls suggest people are against even holding a referendum at the moment. Scotland voted to stay with the UK, and as a whole the UK decided to leave the European Union. She bangs on about not dragging Scotland out of the EU against their will, but what about dragging all the people (majority, might I add) out of the UK against their will who voted to stay only 3 years ago? I think she must know she will get hammered over the pound, hammered over the drop in oil prices and there is absolutely no way she will get any help from NATO or the EU offering an Independent Scotland any fast-track because Spain will veto it because of Catalonia.

In the top right hand corner of the wikipedia page if you click on 'View History' it shows you a list of the latest edits. Then from there you can use any online IP address lookup site. Edit: Or DI's method seems much quicker!
-
The edit came from an IP address in Iran, so whilst I could well be wrong, I'm doubtful anyone in Iran has inside knowledge that someone in America doesn't. Unless the Iranian Secret Service is having a particularly quiet day, of course.

Alive as of October 2016.

Yes you're right. Here is the article from the Express about it, be interesting to see if they bother to follow it up with an obituary.
