From what I understand, he was going to open a football game, but fell while trying to kick the ball and his pacemaker got damaged.
Edit: Already discharged. Also, he is dating one of his nurses again.

On 16/05/2024 at 20:48, arghton said:A week ago he was unable to talk and unable to respond, two days ago he was greatly improving and to be discharged soon, now there's prayer meetings being held again. They said earlier that his condition changes every day.
I think he'll last until next month, but his luck has to run out at some point soon.
EDIT: New update says he's been discharged, but will be back on Saturday for dialysis.
Jayapataka Swami has been on constant oxygen support for the last couple of days and will undergo surgery soon, but at the same time "he is gradually improving in each of his parameters day by day". Currently not in hospital, but that might change quickly.

I was reading a bit on Jack Kevorkian who would've been 96 today, and found that Hemlock Society founder Derek Humphry is still alive, now 94. Last mentioned on the forums back in 2010, but he seems quite active on Facebook.

MMMDP Form Guide #19
Master Kong Nay
Kong Nay is a Cambodian musician, sometimes called the "Ray Charles of Cambodia" for having been blind since the age of four. Since childhood he has played the Chapei, a traditional guitar that has been inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and is considered one of the few remaining masters of that instrument. Three years ago he collaborated with rapper VannDa on Time To Rise, the song becoming a viral hit as some sites say.
Kong has been circling the drain for a while, suffering from a terminal lung disease and other ailments. Three weeks ago he was hospitalised, then discharged, days later hospitalised again and now he's once again back home as seen in the image above, taken today.
Judging on how he looks, he might prove an even better pick than Rantzen, Chomsky, Carter and Cowell, but he is from Asia - tread carefully, he might live another two years.

Jayapataka Swami
An American-Indian ISKCON Hindu leader born John Gordon Erdman II in Milwaukee. As mentioned elsewhere, he has been in failing health for the last sixteen years with kidney, heart, liver, brain and lung problems, cancer and infections. Last month he was again very close to death and spent weeks in critical care, but made another miracle recovery. Currently he undergoes dialysis once every three days for end-stage renal failure and has an oximeter on his finger during appearances and speeches. There is a possibility he will conveniently die during the first days of June.

His successor is Arvi Hämäläinen born in Karelia, Russia and living in Pirkanmaa.
The oldest man born in Finland now is Ilmari Lehtimäki born on 26 Apr 1917 in Paijanne-Tavastia and living in Tavastia ProperIlmari Lehtimäki, oldest Finnish man, dead at 106.
Excluding two unidentified men born 1914 and 1915 who could be dead or frauds, the oldest Finnish man now is Arvi Hämäläinen who is a (very slightly) locally notable costume designer and has had multiple hospitalisations since 2021.
In other news, I've been hearing talk that Rashid Karimov has resurrected after being "dead" for six months...

Manmohan looks rough as usual, but on the other hand being able to sit is good for someone his age who was given ten years to live 15 years ago. Ansari has a blanket covering his legs.
All very big names in India, I'd bet atleast two of that group will obit.

I think he'll survive long enough to be a pick/hit for a few teams in next year's Centenarians DP.
General Nguyễn Quyết visited again, still in hospital:
I am starting to think they include the oxygen flow meter on purpose.
On the topic of "army generals who were also VPs", Try Sutrisno who has looked horrible for years looks even worse here last week, seate at 38 seconds in.

Jayapataka Swami has undergone yet another surgery today, this time to fix a fistula so that he can have dialysis regularly:
Edit: Surgery was a success, but that area of his body has to be "carefully guarded" for 6 to 8 weeks until it can be used for dialysis. They seem to expect him to live that long.
