    Euthanasia I'm guessing?

    World War II Veterans

    I'd probably distinguish them by branch of service like what Wikipedia did with the last surviving WWI veterans. So the last surviving British Army veteran of WWII, last surviving Royal Navy veteran of WWII, last surviving Royal Air Force veteran of WWII, last surviving British combatant of WWII and the last British survivor of WWII. Though it's going to be a while before we get to this stage since we will definitely be seeing a couple of WWII veterans living to their supercentenarian years.

    Petrol Heads To Petrol Deads

    Let me think here. Paul Walker disintegrated with his Porsche back in 2013 after a high-speed crash. Baseball player Oscar Taveras lost control of his Chevy Camaro on a highway and died in 2014. Not quite a celebrity but there was that Youtube star who used his McLaren as a method of suicide back in 2018. I know there's more but I'm only doing the ones who crashed in fast cars.

    Olivia Newton-John

    RIP. I wasn't around at the time when Olivia was in her peak popularity but my mum was a huge fan of Grease back when she was in secondary school, even recreated Olivia's hairstyle and all. She's going to feel gutted hearing this.

    Lisbon Lions

    John "Yogi" Hughes just 2 months before his death, at an event celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions win. From left to right are Hughes, Bobby Lennox, Jim Craig and John Clark. Willie Wallace is the only surviving Lion who wasn't at that event.

    How come this years deathlist is doing so poorly?

    It's not so much about the lack of deaths this year, but rather the excessive deaths in 2020/2021 from the pandemic. That's my observation as someone who has followed the DeathList since 2016. Assuming the DeathList picks up more hits in the winter like it usually does, it seems like an average year.

    World War II Veterans

    Gilbert Howland died not long after this post https://www.stripes.com/veterans/obituaries/2022-05-23/merrills-marauders-gilbert-howland-obituary-6106656.html. Russell Hamler and Gabriel Kinney are the only ones left of the Merrill's Marauders now. Another crew that's down to two is that of the USS Indianapolis, with Harold Bray (94/95) and Cleatus Lebow (98) the only living survivors.

    Hospitalised!

    I'm assuming he's definitely named after Joseph Stalin which is odd to be honest. Yes, I know the Soviet Union and India were strong allies back then and I'm not sure how many people in India back in the 50's and 60's were influenced by communism, but being crazy about it to the point they felt like naming their own children after Soviet leaders? That's something.

    One to watch. Washington Post reporter Gene Park diagnosed with colon cancer, so far it's not serious but let's see.

    Rod Laver seemed to be a bit unsteady on his feet as he was walking on the court.

    Just found this news from my cousin, an ex-Minecrafter and Hypixeler/Hypixelian or whatever the term is called. Technoblade's basically considered as a god over there and the Hypixel server created a tribute section for him which you can write down a letter, which the family will receive.

    And Tristan Thompson, Scott Disick, Travis Scott and so on, most of who are pretty troubled people themselves.

    Astronauts

    Current status of the Apollo astronauts from what I know. Walt Cunningham (Apollo 7) - In good shape and still actively involved in events and stuff Frank Borman (Apollo 8) - No longer appears in public since his wife's death, also the oldest living astronaut currently Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13) - No recent updates but I believe he's still doing well William Anders (Apollo 8) - Rarely appears in public so not sure of his status, seemed okay at the most recent Apollo 8 reunion. Jim McDivitt (Apollo 9) - Physically frail, but still mentally sharp Rusty Schweickart (Apollo 9) - Actively involved in public life, in excellent shape and will not be going anytime soon David Scott (Apollo 9 and Apollo 15) - No updates in a long time so not sure of his current status, but seemed frail from the most recent appearances I could find Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10) - Needed assistance walking in Alexei Leonov's funeral back in 2019 and looks to have clearly declined since then, looking extremely frail now and is clearly not standing straight Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) - In decent shape, still active but definitely not as much as he used to be, has slowed down quite a bit now Fred Haise (Apollo 13) - Still active and doing well Charles Duke (Apollo 16) - In excellent shape for his age, still quite active and makes regular public appearances, won't be going anytime soon Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17) - Same as Charlie Duke but in even better shape, I'd say he's probably going to be the last moonwalker standing assuming we don't have any in the next 10-15 years Overall I would watch out for Aldrin, Borman and Stafford, maybe Lovell, McDivitt and Scott too.

    Not as old, but there is Grandma Lill (92 years old) from the grandson and grandmother channel Kevin and Lill, they stopped making videos because Kevin moved and Lill herself is not doing that great healthwise.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    Found out billionaire Charlie Munger is 98 years old. He should be considered for the DL as he is more than famous enough, not to mention his age.

    Jean-Louis Trintignant

    Worth mentioning his uncle Maurice was a very successful race car driver, and Jean-Louis himself dabbled in racing at an amateur level.

    Films with entirely dead casts

    The death of Nancy Berg in 2022 means the entire credited cast of the 1964 Cold war movie Fail Safe is dead. Grand Prix (1966) is also on it's last legs, down to Eva Marie Saint, Genevieve Page and Francoise Hardy for the main speaking cast.

    The Chequered Flag

    Been a while since the last OoO update, wondering if there's any new info about certain old racing drivers. Especially curious on anything about Jean-Pierre Jabouille (supposedly has dementia according to his friend and former racing driver Jacques Laffite).
