Too bad.

He must die this year.

He's so dead this year! (Unless he's immortal.)

What about former Finnish president Mauno Koivisto (born 1923)? He is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease as of 2017 but is otherwise in quite good condition (better than many other 94 year-olds). Could he be in the next year's list, or is he notable enough?

Well, maybe.

A bunch of really old people; - Kirk Douglas (born 1916), an actor (just in case he doesn't die this year) - Evelyn de Rothschild (born 1931), billionaire worth $25 billion; Queen Elizabeth II's financial adviser; part of the Rothschild banking family - Jacob Rothschild (born 1936), investment banker & philanthropist; worth $5 billion or so - Emma Morano (born 1899), oldest known living person and also the oldest woman and the only known living person born in the 1800's - Yisrael Kristal (born 1903), oldest living man and also the oldest living Holocaust survivor - Betty White (born 1922), an actress

There's just no way he'll survive this year... I don't believe he'll live to 96.

He was too old to die.
