The article claims he is currently unable to talk or walk. New name reported to be in failing health is Clément Atangana, head of Cameroon's Supreme Court.

    Hospitalised!

    Jayapataka Swami suffering from infection, fever and worsening kidney function, but it doesn't sound serious. Likely going to have to start dialysis again soon, currently being treated by a medical team at his Kolkata "hospital at home".

    Scientists, Inventors And Techno Wizards

    Huang Xuhua celebrated his birthday early this month and, like his teacher, seems to be "permanently hospitalised" now too. They also now claim he's 100.

    Hospitalised!

    Faustao has undergone a kidney transplant, but it "isn't working yet" and he also suffers from lymphatic issues. Mark Coleman still in ICU but awake and responsive, seems like he'll survive this too. Last but not least, Alexander Mitta finally discharged after four months of hospitalisation, "feels fine and communicates"

    Not Really Famous, But What A Moniker!

    Jordan Pop-Jordanov or Pop-Jordanow (researchgate, wikidata) Macedonian nuclear physicist, WWII partisan, member of the Yugoslav Communist Party Central Committee, professional tennis player, expert on renewable energy and full member of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts has popped his clogs at 98. Interesting that researchgate profile that goes from nuclear physics to sustainable energy, to ADHD, postpartum depression, climate change and stress.

    French Deathlist 2024

    Surely some child actors (Terry Kilburn) and royal children / children of political/military leaders (not a great example, but Anita Bose-Pfaff) still living from that time? But not sure if there are any who were "famous". Virginia C. Claudon Allen should still be alive although I haven't read much about her, I have no idea if she was famous in any way at the time.

    Cage Fighters

    Mark Coleman, apparently a big name in MMA and freestyle wrestling (initial UFC Heavyweight Champion and an UFC Hall of Famer), on ventilator and in critical condition following house fire. Reading about him, he sounds like a nice guy who's suffered a lot in life, and has also been hospitalised atleast four times within the last six months before this.

    Other Martial Art Practitioners

    Myōbudani was never really heavy but I agree, an impressive run. Not only sumo wrestlers die due to obesity-related reasons, from what I've heard most of the time they're under enormous stress, if they perform badly they might get demoted and I recall the "low-level" sumo wrestlers will usually get no pension at all from the Sumo Association. Due to the aforementioned and the fact they have no post-middle school education many end up unemployed after their career. Modern sumo on top of all that also has steroid use etc. Last time I checked the life expectancy of a sumo wrestler was somewhere between 55 and 65, but steroids will cut another ten from that. The oldest one I'm a hundred percent sure is still alive is Yutakayama Katsuo, 86. The next major sumo deaths are probably going to be Kitanofuji Katsuaki (81) who has been in hospital for around a year now with heart failure and Takamiyama Daigoro (79) who was the heaviest wrestler of his generation and I remember he fairly recently said somewhere he "won't live much longer". I wouldn't be suprised if Akebono Tarō (former top-level sumo wrestler who permanently ruined his life by getting into show wrestling, kickboxing and MMA and now has enormous heart issues and likely CTE) clung on to life for years, his family clearly wants to keep him alive.
