Both Klenberg's successor and predecessor as the Chief of Defence of the Finnish Defence Forces are interesting people. Jaakko Valtanen, ww2 vet (1925-2024) is still in a pretty good shape at 94 and is pretty known here. Valtanen is known for sending Finnish UN peacekeepers into the middle east and opposing the 60s hippie movement. Gustav Hägglund (born 1937) was a commander of UNIFIL, was involved in the arab-israeli conflict of 1978 and known for his hate towards overweight women, investing in a pyramid scheme in 2008 and hunting animals in Africa. First Chairman of the European Union Military Committee 2001-2004

I mean Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and even Michael Jackson have been nominated, it is not a big deal

Veikko "Vexi" Salmi, Finnish lyricist who wrote lyrics for over 4000 songs for, for example Ilkka Lipsanen (Danny) and Irwin Goodman dead at 77. I remember him from this song: https://www.iltalehti.fi/viihdeuutiset/a/e0c02850-b259-48a4-862d-97df68b73f17

A mild case compared to many with autism, but it sure is easily noticed from his behaviour. Here's an interesting article about his life explaining how he was diagnosed in the 30s written four years ago: https://people.com/celebrity/donald-triplett-autisms-first-ever-patient-now-82-has-continued-to-grow/

First person diagnosed with autism is still alive and it's his 87th birthday tomorrow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Triplett

Not even his ex-wife, apparently https://twitter.com/_AnnettePeacock/status/1302374223650881539

Oldest man in Finland, ww2 veteran and author Väinö Loisa died at age 108. https://www.luumaenlehti.fi/2020/09/01/suomen-vanhin-mies-vaino-loisa-on-kuollut/ Wrote book "Varjelus oli mukana" about his experiences in the battles he fought 1939-1945

https://twitter.com/MikeSpinksjinx/status/1298688372890796033 I think he looks good in this picture taken a week ago.

Apparently recovering from vestibular disease and looks very frail http://kabochan.blog.jp/archives/41643202.html Probably one of the only remaining late 2000s meme animals. Maru is another, don't remember/know if there's others

Chief of Defence of the Finnish Defence forces from 1990 to 1994, Jan Klenberg (b. 1931) died at the end of last month aged 88. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Klenberg He wasn't as known as his predecessor Jaakko Valtanen (1925-) or his successor Gustav Hägglund (1937-)

I'll replace the fifth and third one with Norwegian princess Märtha Louise becoming the Queen of the United Kingdom. She's currently the 84th in the line of succession to the British throne which may not seem a lot but she believes that she can communicate with angels and the dead so I mean, it's still a risk

This means that the only living senior member of Khmer Rouge is Khieu Samphan, aged 89. It's been just two years since Nuon Chea and Samphan were found guilty of genocide.

Yes, he announced it today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pave_Maijanen Pekka "Pave" Maijanen, a known Finnish singer, songwriter, bass player, keyboard player, drummer, guitarist and producer has revealed he suffers from ALS. His 70th birthday is going to be in three days, I wonder how long he's got He was the last in the 1992 competition with this:

Philip looked 99 years old 20 years ago and around 25 years ago said that "bits and pieces are already falling off me" so I'm suprised how he's still alive. Wouldn't be suprised if he outlives the queen but I'm betting he'll not make it to 100.

1. Some nuclear power plant or army base somewhere explodes by accident 2. Philip, Duke of Edinburgh kills someone. Hopefully by accident. 3. Celebrities becoming vtubers (at this point i've run out of ideas) 4. Third world war 5. David Attenborough dies

What I'm afraid of is that Pervez Musharraf or Abdelaziz Bouteflika will be dropped from the list in 2021 because they aren't in the news a lot nowadays. Especially Bouteflika won't probably last a long time because of his health problems even though I've already seen some Algerian instagram accounts make memes about him being immortal.

Kabosu, dog known for the very popular "doge" picture and meme looks frail, is blind and probably has health issues judging on these pictures from her owner's blog http://kabochan.blog.jp/archives/41544260.html The blog is in Japanese though

I think Arnold Spielberg was my first hit. Hard to keep track of my own list and the lists of other people, so I'll just mention here if I see some people on a list or multiple lists die.

Was reading the posts from the first page. They're from 2011. Interesting that both George Johnson and Fred Sutherland are still alive, now 98 and 97. Edit: Apparently Sutherland died last year. Didn't check the wikipedia page but google mentioned that he'd still be alive. Darn

Replaced number 200 with Indonesian ISIS cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, 82, because apparently Bajro Ikanovic died according to Bosnian media in 2016. I didn't notice this while picking the candidates.

Here's an interesting centenarian, but there isn't a lot about him in the english wikipedia. https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paavo_V._Suominen Founded "Huurre" in 1946. It became the largest producer of cold storages in the 80s. Suominen "retired" in 1986 and soon after, because of an economic depression the company was sold to an English bank. He's a millionaire freemason known for sometimes giving donations to schools. Suominen is known in Finland but probably only few know his name outside of the country. A few months ago celebrated his 100th birthday. He has once told a newspaper that he wouldn't be alive without a pacemaker he got at age 85 in America. https://twitter.com/IlmariSjoblom/status/1227683656174645248 Here's a new picture of him. I wonder how long he'll live, his wife is in a nursing home but apparently he still lives in his home. He's a living relic.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_al-Fayadh This is the other one.

I don't care that much about what he is, for me his only purpose is to die within the next year and three months. I need to know nothing more about him.

I got pretty tired after writing that list for over two hours. Could've instead have called him a far-right drug addict.
