There was another centenarian from Guatemala, Henrietta Boggs, but she died a few months ago at 102. Also Franca Pilla, widow of Carlos Azeglio Ciampi will turn 100 tomorrow.

He once said that he wanted to be reincarnated as a deadly virus. Isn't it ironic that he will be among the first to receive vaccine for this not so deadly virus?

Look at Pope Francis' dress on that picture. And look at that one button that is unbuttoned xD

Tracheostomy at age 99, that's really sick. Anyway, people usually die within a month after tracheostomy since it's an end stage procedure when people can't breathe through mouth and nose anymore.

I believe he will go to heaven because god has a morbid sense for humour.

Marita Camacho Quiros, former first lady of Costa Rica, turned 109 this year according to this article https://www.lateja.cr/nacional/exprimera-dama-marita-de-orlich-cumple-hoy-109/F7FTZMUEUJDIFLCOK5T5T2NAZM/story/

You mean "constituent part of Yugoslavia"'?

Actually 4 - Georges-Hilaire Dupont, Aldo Mongiano, Gerard Dionne and Pinera.

Because Suriname was not independent country when he was Prime Minister.

She gave me the Kura Bingo vibes.

Damn you modern medicine, the arch enemy of deathlisters.

Lubomir Strougal

So many suicides this year... I guess world is becoming more depressive with each year.

I pick Lubomir Strougal. Btw Lee Teng-hui is now the only living state leader born in 1923.

Looks like Grim reaper overslept this day...

I'll pick Morales Bermudez.

I can't translate that article unfortunately. But how do we know that it is about this Tun Tin and not someone else with the same name?

I pick Lubomir Strougal.

He made it to the "Top 100 oldest state leaders of all time".

If you read the section "Obituary" you can see that this is a parody. Apparently he was "happy and smiling" in a "life support machine". lol

I wonder if she was the longest lived first lady ever. I know there was a wife of a governor - general who also lived to 105 years but I can't find her on the internet anymore. There is also Soong Mei - ling who was 105 or 106 years old and Juliana Young Koo who lived to 111 but she was only a spouse of state leader, not a first lady.

Nuon Chea has died https://www.france24.com/en/20190804-khmer-rouge-brother-number-two-nuon-chea-dies-cambodia-court. Another "best riddance" award?

Has anyone else noticed a big decrease in number of famous centenarian deaths this year, especially among the 105+ people? It makes me feel like we are approaching time when people won't die anymore.

Khamtai Siphandon will become the 100th oldest state leader ever in just 6 days.

I have a feeling that this is fake news...again.
