Börje Salming has died aged 71 only a few months after the announcement of his ALS

Social media (including some respectable source) is heavily suggesting he's faked his death to avoid being captured and tried for treason by Ukraine now that Russia has retreated from Kherson, so it's a toss up as to his actual status - though he's been "officially" declared dead by the Russians, ofc.

There are some rumors on Twitter and Reddit that the 8 dead in the Evin prison fire is just the tip of the iceberg, and the Iranian regime is waiting on the protests to die down (good luck) before announcing more names. Given the people imprisoned there, this could get ugly, and fast. In more Evin news, rock climber Elnaz Rekabi, who competed without a hijab, has gone missing: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/18/fears-for-iranian-climber-elnaz-rekabi-after-she-competed-in-seoul-without-a-hijab Iran says she's on her way home to Iran, rumors abound that she's to be imprisoned in Evin once she gets there.

For completeness's sake, as mentioned elsewhere: Nepalese scholar Satya Mohan Joshi dead at 102/103 (death notice says 103, Wiki says 102): https://kathmandupost.com/national/2022/10/16/culture-expert-and-historian-satya-mohan-joshi-passes-away

Can no longer speak: https://www.expressen.se/sport/salmings-svara-liv--med-als-kan--inte-langre-prata/ Seems his ALS is progressing fast

Bellingcat's Christo Grozev has thoughts on Girkin's potential fate - and given it's Grozev, he knows what he's talking about.

Seems it was a health thing: Not sure what it is, but might be worth keeping an eye on

Rumors going around that erstwhile Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin has vanished into thin air ever since going to the front and may be dead. Twitter OSINT folks currently having a prayer circle for confirmation so they can throw a rager.

No, but Heche had previously said that she believes her father was gay: https://books.google.co.in/books?id=G2UEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA32&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false

If Heche's autobiography is to be believed (her sister + mother have different stories, which is why I say if), her father sexually abused her as a kid, her mom knew and did nothing. Her father was also a closeted gay man who died of AIDS, and her brother killed himself. Whether that's true aside, what is true is that her mom is an outspoken advocate of conversion therapy and, when Heche publically dated Ellen, claimed Heche betrayed her because there was an unspoken agreement in the family that the "homosexuals" are not to be tolerated.

I mean, the conditions to avoid places to protect kids are all well and good, but the issue is she's 40 and can conceivably have another kid. Unless they plan on taking potential future kid into care as soon as they're born, people like this shouldn't be let out until they're incapable of having kids IMO (or prohibited from having them, but that's never going to happen, is it?)

I agree on him looking his age, especially in the picture gcreptile posted - that said, given that he's being sued into oblivion, there some case going on w/ his ex-wife, the Jan 6th committee, potential perjury charges depending on how much the courts really want to fuck with him... He's likely going to age a million years in the next 12 months, and he's definitely a "take a fly on him just in case" candidate

Actress Anne Heche reportedly in critical condition in the hospital following a car crash: https://people.com/movies/anne-heche-critical-condition-after-fiery-car-crash-la-home-reports/?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_content=new&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=62edbfe3dd0cfc0001185930

With that pic, i wouldn't be surprised if he goes before Carter
