    Osama Bin Laden

    Robert J. O'Neill (Robert O'Neill for search purposes) who likely killed Bin Laden, arrested in Texas. Public intoxication and assault causing bodily injury. Previously charged with DUI in 2016 and thrown off a plane for "being very drunk" in 2018.

    Notable Victims of the Russo-Ukrainian war

    Wagner mercenary Biber, who "played a large role in capturing Bakhmut", reported/rumored KIA on social media (for example here) In May he was on "troll video" by Prigozhin where Prigo said he was "pulling units out of Bakhmut, leaving two men to block the way of Ukraine" I'm going to guess he wasn't killed by Ukrainians.

    U.S. Political Figures over 85

    Ron Paul some days ago on his 88th. Looks a bit frail to me.

    Who will break the drought?

    At this point I think you should've added the "That's all folks!" option.

    Country For Old Men (And Women)

    Australian country "legend", Sheik of Scrubby Creek Chad Morgan deserves a mention here. Not dead yet, but he's been rumored dead many times since 2008, has looked quite frail and decrepit for more than a decade but seems like he's still performing. He's 90, two months older than Willie Nelson.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    Oscar Wyatt had a big party with his wife earlier this month or late last month (in July he turned 99, she turned 88 and it's been 60 years since they got married). Also...Eric Tsang, Hong Kong film industry legend has been quite ill recently. Cancer, aneurysm, swollen feet, gout, serious covid some time ago and on top of all this he has or has had a drinking problem.

    Vladimir Putin

    Rumors that Putin has "urgently left" Kursk where he was at a concert celebrating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Kursk.

    Notable Victims of the Russo-Ukrainian war

    To the Strelkov Igor Girkin saga, he's having "health issues" behind bars. (Russia arrested him last month as he criticized Putin a bit too much) His wife said he's sharply deteriorating but Girkin has according to Russian medias said he's "doing fine" and just a bit numb.

    The 100 Club

    I don't think he will necessarily die off-radar but he might. He wasn't famous before those August 2022 articles and I can't find anything on him since. He was 101 at the time but they added a year to his age.

    The 100 Club

    Updated. There's 5 left from 1920, but I think Mangala Kanti Roy is another age fraud and Jang Bahadur Singh might die off-radar. Thanga Darlong has been in declining health for more than two years and was unable to attend an event due to illness earlier this month.

    Political Frailty

    Jordi Pujol accidentally says his successor Pasqual Maragall is dead. He probably meant he's "still alive but gone", but still quite a slip.

    Marvel Comics / DC Comics / Others

    Comic book illustrator (X-Men, Web of Spider-Man), inker Dan Green who worked with Romita Sr and Jr, John and Sal Buscema, Steve Ditko, John Byrne, Jack Kirby, George Pérez and many others, was dead on Wikipedia's 2023 deaths page but it's been removed now. Edit: Apparently there are many mentions online that he's dead but I can't find an obituary anywhere yet.

    Other Martial Art Practitioners

    Kimura Shōnosuke XXVII, highest-ranking sumo referee 1977-1990, died in June at 97. He was active in sumo wrestling from 1935 and was at the time of his death the last pre-war sumo "figure"

    Who are the immortals?

    So Zagallo and Buthelezi were improving but there's not been updates in two days. Zagallo's "improving" update said they don't have a discharge day for him ready yet. Thimmakka...there's been radio silence for more than a week now. Nritya Gopal Das made an appearance two days ago, it's on facebook. He's wheelchair or bedbound round the clock and if you look closely at some of his images there's some tubes around. He's still suffering from massive kidney problems. He has a designated successor who's around 20 years younger, as does Thich Thanh Tu. The successors don't really look healthy either. From my suggestions on page 20...(they're all 40+ of them still alive) Wanda Półtawska made an appearance some days ago (it's on facebook). Her hand has bandages, but she doesn't look much frailer than before. Akihiro Miwa and Tep Vong have made appearances recently. Miwa is suspected to be very ill and was on Japan's TV late last month looking extremely thin. (He's been "very ill" for the last four decades) Tep Vong who's still recovering from a series of strokes in 2019-2020 looks frail, but his designated successor (Non Nget, នន្ទ ង៉ែត, who is aged somewhere between 87 and 101) is apparently quite ill and followers have been asking prayers.

    Here we go again...Shmuel Yaakov Kahn or Shmuel Yaakov Kohn or Shmuel Yaakov Yenta (Hebrew wiki) 79-year-old leader of Israel Hasidic dynasty Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok, hospitalised with "kidney problems" (and various other ailments). Previous health problems include massive heart ailments, cardiac arrest in 2015 and gallbladder infection last year.
