Hungarian composer Franz Liszt in March 1886, four months before his death. He was something of an immortal among composers, he outlived almost all of his contemporaries and lived quite a long life for a composer, reaching the age of 74 despite being in ill health for around seven years at that point.

On 19/01/2024 at 19:36, The Immortal said:About that time for a Medal of Honor recipient update, and especially since they had their annual convention back in November 2023.
In the first pic Roger Donlon (in the wheelchair) continues to embrace being an immortal, attending the convention seemingly with ease despite Parkinson's and a stay in hospice back in August. Jay Vargas (bottom far left) is now using a cane. Barney Barnum (bottom far right) has been frail and using a cane for a while now so nothing new with him. In the second pic, I think that's 97 year old Ralph Puckett in the wheelchair 2nd from the right. Nothing I see of note besides that, though they are an aging bunch.
Honestly at this point I think Jose Rodela who hasn't been seen around in ages because of dementia and heart failure, will go before Donlon or Puckett.
Well this prediction ended up totally wrong, but I found out that Jose Rodela made a public appearance at an NFL halftime event back in 2022 and he can be seen in a wheelchair looking very frail and seemingly clueless as to where he is, which lines up with the source I found claiming he's suffering from dementia. Roger Donlon was in that halftime event too and could still move around so it tells you a lot on how bad Rodela's condition was even back then, and adding heart failure to the mix I can only imagine how much it's worsened now.
I'd like to throw in another possibility in the singer who performs in the video, Lee Greenwood of "God Bless the U.S.A" fame. He's 81 and just retired from performing this year because of health reasons.

Unfortunately there is no concrete evidence and the whole post is very unclear but my fragile as glass Bangladeshi actress pick Pori Moni, seems to have been in the hospital for "vertigo" not too long ago according to her Facebook post.

Someone called him yesterday and Beenhakker told him he now lives in loneliness, doesn't want anything to do with other people and that he's not doing well. Link (in Dutch)
"Someone" is actually Jack Van Gelder, who made this iconic piece of commentary.
Back on topic though, Beenhakker seems to have been very frail for years. Not too surprised to hear he isn't well, perhaps he should make the DL return in 2025? (if he does, surely it would be a world record for the longest gap between DL appearances with 34 years?)

My cousin is my go to person for knowledge and rumors of all things internet celebrity, so I asked him if there were any potentials. This was what I came to know. Also putting in a few that I know of.
- Boogie2988 seems to be mentioned a few times already, but he's gone even more off the deep end. It seems he had a confrontation with political commentator Destiny and was exposed as a cancer faker, after getting caught he threatened to self harm on that livestream. Clearly mentally unstable.
- Patrick "PopularMMOS" Julianelle who according to close sources has become a severe drug addict and alcoholic to the point it will eventually kill him. Has also been arrested several times apparently. Has 17M subscribers apparently so quite big.
- Stuart Taylor of Chain Bear F1 who's had physical and mental health issues around the time he stopped uploading, but is doing fine currently.
- Shane Burcaw of Squirmy and Grubs who has muscular dystrophy but he's falls in the classic "famous for being ill" category.
- I've mentioned Lill Droniak from Kevin and Lill before. They stopped making videos a few years back but it seems she's still around on instagram. 94 years old and in a wheelchair now.
- Then there's this smaller YouTuber Ollie Talks Airsoft (120k subs) who I came across, who has stage 4 Bowel cancer and was given "3 months to live" back in January but is still alive as of August.

Reports that ex YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is dead. The poster (Dennis Troper) is her husband and I just cannot see him faking something like this, especially since he lost his son just a few months ago.

Although it seems he's still semi-active, James Ivory of Merchant Ivory Productions (notable for producing films like A Room With A View and Howards End.) is 96 and could be a possibility.

Kathie Lee Gifford revealed she was hospitalized for a week after fracturing her pelvis in a fall, while recovering from hip replacement surgery. All this seems to have happened quite recently.

5 hours ago, tracy said:William Calley, Army officer convicted in the My Lai massacre, died in April aged 80.
I thought this cunt died years ago, either way good riddance and may this be the last mention of him now that he's gone. We should be remembering Hugh Thompson, Larry Colburn and Glenn Andreotta, not this cunt.

Occam's razor completely failing.
Side effects of being death-starved, I suppose.

Pete Theisinger, ex-NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineer and project manager who lead the Mars rover missions, dead.

1 hour ago, TQR said:It's obviously teriffic that Ralf has reached a point where he feels comfortable enough to share this publicly, but already I'm seeing people on SM ramping up rumours about potentially queer current F1 drivers. That kind of wild speculation and eagerness to try outing them is exactly why so many LGBT+ people in the public eye feel they must stay closeted.
That's what happened to Mike Beuttler (1970s driver, in the period where F1 was a symbol of machismo.). He would bring girls to races with him to avoid speculation. He disappeared off public life because of HIV/AIDS (which eventually killed him) and the stigma that surrounded it.

Not really, there have been bigger death clusters I can recall. December 2016. Richard Adams, Liz Smith, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, Debbie Reynolds, William Christopher in the span of a week.

I remember how distraught Shannen was when Luke Perry died, Shannen said she was the one that should have gone and not Luke. I can imagine she must have been at peace at the end knowing she would be reunited with Luke again.

The crashes Gordon Johncock suffered in his career combined with old age have taken it's toll and he has difficulty breathing now. Another source says he has only one lung properly functioning so he doesn't attend IndyCar races to avoid potential lung infections. https://99wfmk.com/gordon-johncock-of-hastings/
Someone on X met NASCAR driver Bobby Allison in February 2024 and took a photo with him, in a wheelchair but otherwise seems to be alright. I might note that Allison is another racer who suffers from the long term effects of a severe racing crash.

Family insists he is not in any danger.
Seems like his condition worsened and he was hospitalized again in June, no clue if he is still there.

In all honesty it's a sad situation to see how political extremism on both parties has divided the U.S. I visit the U.S often and these days even so much as having a friend who supports the other political party is enough to get you shunned by even your family or spouse, at least that's what not too long ago happened to a friend of mine who's family berated her for having a friend who supports Republican.
If only more people could put aside their political differences, and see and get to know people for who they are and not their political affliation, the country (actually, the world) would be a better place.

A good many, even from the early pre-Challenger missions. It's the Apollo and Skylab era astronauts that have been dying off.

He was the last X-15 pilot and STS-2 crew member (Dick Truly having died a couple months ago, and yes that is in fact his real name.)

My personal immortal Ira "Ike" Schab turned 104 a few days ago. Not too shabby (or rather Schabby, in this case.) I must say, considering he was hospitalized several times for pneumonia and once for COVID-19 in his centenarian years and made his "dying wish" three years ago. Doesn't seem to be any recent news except he has extremely poor eyesight now according to his daughter and Schab himself remains alert.

Well this is an unexpected surprise. Back to back hits for me with Bengt I. Samuelsson (unique pretty sure) and Jane McAlevey (huge replacement name).

These 110club stans remind me exactly of these anime and TV show stans who go completely unhinged because their favorite character died in their show. Actually it feels like SC's as a whole are treated like movie characters there and It's so fucking weird honestly. I've observed certain fan favorites (Charlotte as you saw here but Tekla Juniewicz, Bob Weighton come to mind and of course Kane Tanaka) that usually get more mourners while others (usually Japanese or Latin American SCs) they don't really bother about much.
It's also such a shame because there are genuinely some good people on there who put in hard work and research or are genuinely interested, but the stans and their obsession with longevity and milestones just ruin it for all.
