    Statistics

    As we're waiting for one of this year's picks to die, I can't find a list of surviving AVALDP / Advent Avalanche / Advent game survivors here. I've already done a list of survivors for MMMDP, so here's one for AVALDP: 2016: Chris Rea Queen Sirikit MC Ren Donald J. Trump Eileen Derbyshire 2017: Ami Brown 2018: Anna Thornton Naka Drotské Anne Baker MBE Stanley Baxter Donald J. Trump 2019: Ron Boswell Willie Nelson 2020: James Whale Mairead Philpott Yoko Ono 2021: Liza Minnelli Khaleda Zia Jean Marsh Sidney Cooke Kat Bjelland Jimmy Carter Phyllis Dalton Rowshan Ershad Bernadette Chirac Gavin Robertson 2022: Steve "Mongo" McMichael Nigel Starmer-Smith Roberta Flack Norman Tebbit MC Ren James Whale Bernadette Chirac Badal Chowdhury Jimmy Carter Jean-Marie Le Pen 2023: Jimmy Carter Dick Van Dyke Noam Chomsky Yoko Ono V. S. Achuthanandan John Hemingway Steve Wells Steve "Mongo" McMichael Jay-Jay Solari Pope Francis Nigel Starmer-Smith Joanne Woodward About the less famous ones: Winners of 2018 and 2019: Bradley was an Ohioan (WBNS) Chief Meteorologist with leukemia. Karl Kiefer was a local US football coach who'd been in hospice following a heart attack Other picks with less info online: Peter Overton (2017) was a Kent footballer whose clubs included Tonbridge and Maidstone. Tanya Gendle (2018) was an Australian personal trainer and I can't find if she ever got any media attention when she died. Patti Goyette (2019) was an US owner of "La Crosse Olive Oil Company" and had cancer. Another who didn't get any real media attention when she died. Badal Chowdhury (2022) I assume is the Indian communist politician of Tripura.

    Who are the immortals?

    Enrile's facebook is amusing. Each to their own, but if I'd live to 100 I'd try to not spend my remaining months debating randoms online.

    From Cleric To Relic

    Divaldo Franco (97-year-old Spiritist leader) begins cancer treatments (radiotherapy with small doses of chemo). For some reason I doubt his cancer is actually survivable.

    World's Oldest

    Gunnel Stenbäck, oldest in Finland and former head of the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation dead at 110. Oldest in Finland now I believe is Arvi Hämäläinen, born in January 1917. Quite a drop. I mentioned Hämäläinen here some months ago, he's a (very slightly) locally notable costume designer and has had multiple hospitalisations since 2021.

    Deathrace 2025

    Deathrace Form Guide #14 Luigi Manocchio The 97-year-old former boss of the Patriarca crime family has been said to be "close to the end" for multiple months now, starting from August when there was a "living funeral" type of event for him and Eddie Lato. Manocchio allegedly suffers from quite advanced prostate cancer and was erroneously reported dead back in September. A very low-hanging fruit.

    Hospitalised!

    Álvaro Noboa, controversial Ecuadorian businessman (Bonita bananas), current president's father and politician hospitalised following heart attack. Either critical in ICU or "just undergoing checkups" depending on who you believe. Suffers from Parkinson's and other ailments.

    Missing In Action

    Kimmo Kiljunen, 73-year-old Finnish Member of Parliament and Foreign Affairs Committee chair missing according to wife following controversy on comments about opening the Eastern border. While it doesn't sound serious (atleast yet), I recall he's had some troubles with alcohol use before. Hoping he hasn't offed himself. Edit: He's back and has resigned from his position as Foreign Affairs Committee chair.
