2008: "Musician played banjo on operating table while doctors carried out surgery on his brain" I recall seeing the video somewhere before and today I stumbled upon it again on social media. Anyways, Eddie Adcock, he's still alive and now 85.

Brazilian sportscaster Silvio Luiz hospitalised for tests. Shib Narayan Das, designer of the first flag of Bangladesh was in critical condition earlier this week. Luiz has one of the shortest Wikipedia pages I've seen.

Akebono dead as mentioned in the Wrestlers thread. One of the greatest sumo wrestlers of his generation, well-respected, but from what I understand local controversy (he dated a Japanese pop singer, that relationship wasn't widely accepted there) on his personal life lead to his 1990s financial trouble that caused him to get into MMA, show wrestling and kickboxing. It seems he wasn't much more than a freak show there. Kitanofuji is still presumably in hospital with severe heart problems, completely incapacitated and will likely die any day now. It'll be interesting to see if Takamiyama Daigoro will be at Akebono's funeral as he trained him.

Eero Blåfield dead at 102. Expected considering his age, but still sad news. It's been 84 years since the Winter War, the remaining veterans are around Blåfield's age. No idea how many are still alive.

Manolis Mavrommatis out of ICU, his wife is still intubated. I completely forgot Srinivas is still alive. He seemed near the end even before his "critical on ventilator" hospitalisation.

He's still in ICU but has been "greatly improving" the last few days, was able to participate in an event and did a small speech today through video call: Picture of health.

Royce Williams is alive for now, but I have no idea if he's could be called properly notable. From South Korea, I think the last General notable for participation is Kim Too-man (97) who flew a modern fighter jet at 88 and still seems to be in pretty good health.

In the nerves. I don't know about acoustic neuroma, but a year ago I was diagnosed with a similar tumor in a different place of the head and it seems deaths caused by these types of tumors are extremely rare, usually they develop very slowly as mentioned later on in the article. I've been told my tumor could've been there for decades and it does not cause any problems to me. Very different "brain tumor" compared to for example meningioma

Jayapataka Swami has had yet another health emergency while in ICU, now stable and slightly improving again after his medical team has drained two litres of fluid from his lungs. Oops, didn't see the above post. Nritya Gopal Das, another Hindu leader and another perennial kidney failure sufferer discharged after another UTI. I missed his hospitalisation.

Om Prakash Chautala hospitalised in ICU (apparently now out of ICU, but still hospitalised)

Colt Ford, stereotypical redneck country singer and probably the largest name in country rap hospitalised, stable in ICU following heart attack. Only 53 but with a history of health issues (notably eye cancer and myasthenia gravis)

Jayapataka Swami on life saving drugs, infection has not reduced. I expect a further update later today. Edit: Kidneys and lungs improving, hemoglobin levels low and blood transfusion is considered, dialysis dose increased. For the last few days he has been on CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy, 24/7 dialysis), that was used on fellow drol immortal Mulayam Singh Yadav during his last hospitalisation. Mulayam lasted a week on that.

As many of you know, the current President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman's health has been declining for a while mostly due to the fact that he's been a heavy drinker and a chain smoker for decades. Now 77, he's in hospital and has been there for a month and is suffering from chronic liver disease/cirrhosis and is rumored to be suffering from liver encephalopathy. And also has diabetes. He declined fast, after he started using a wheelchair in April he's gone worse and looked horrible and yellow in September: Considering his age and the fact that he smoked three packs of cigarettes a day before 2019 (when doctors advised him to cut back on them, after that he's only smoked two packs a day) and six glasses of wine, three shots of brandy a day, he won't just bounce back. Here's a great article about him from January 2018: https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/01/24/if-a-president-is-dying-and-nobody-says-anything-does-it-make-a-sound/ And a video from 2017 of him meeting the Queen:

Jayapataka went from "stable" to "very critical" to "improving but still critical" in the last two days:

1913 arguably has Mateo Balbuena Iglesias who is very slightly notable for having written a few books and being a local communist personality. I believe 1915 only has Clayton Flowers unless you want to count Min Jingde (not really notable at all) or that Taiwanese guy who broke the world record for oldest person to paraglide tandem (even less notable) The 1914 names I'm aware of, ranked by how notable I consider them: 1. Muazzez İlmiye Çığ - Most recently made an appearance last month. Still sharp. 2. James C. Floyd - If I'm correct he has not been seen or heard of in a decade. I assume he's in very poor health and consider him very overdue. 3. Anne Baker MBE - Looks 109, but I don't think it's been a very long time since her last appearance? 4. Eileen Kramer - Could walk without aid a bit over a year ago, visibly aged since but still doing well for her age. 5. Norman Spencer - Not much to say, most recent image with a quick google search is from when he was 106. The rest I consider nearly completely notable only due to age. 6. Edith Renfrow Smith - "I've never taken any medicine" type. Spent weeks in hospital last year but recovered well. Facebook admirers seem sure she'll live way past 110. 7. Anita Mackey - Bedbound for more than a year. 8. Viola Fletcher - Tulsa race massacre survivor. I'm too starting to doubt her age a bit, I think she looks too great for 109 and just very recently released a memoir. 9. Lessie Benningfield Randle - The first here with no Wikipedia page. The other Tulsa race massacre survivor, seems to be in much worse health than Fletcher. 10. Morrie Markoff - The second one of this group who as far as I know has no Wikipedia page. "Notable" only for being the oldest blogger, but also the oldest man in the US now. Looks much younger. Pappammal is an obvious fraudster and therefore not included.

Swami Smarananananawhateverhisnameis, Ma Shitu and Zhang Lixiong have died within the last week, hits for me and maybe others here.

Never would I have thought he would live another year after this image was taken. Funny how the cause of death is mentioned "failed treatment" as if the team of doctors treating him could have done something differently to keep him alive even longer.

Ottilie-Armilde Tinnuri, oldest Estonian ever, dead at 110.

Latest news says one dead, atleast two severely injured. Possibly a .22 revolver used. Shocking news, very uncommon here

César Luis Menotti hospitalised with severe anemia due to thrombophlebitis. "In delicate condition"

Jayapataka Swami hospitalised in ICU according to his facebook, but not in any kind of danger: I think that's the same hospital he had his liver and double kidney transplant around five or six years ago.

Eze V. B. C. Onyema III dead? I have no idea what's happening in the video, that white guy twerking and everything, but according to the description it's a celebration of the Eze Onyema's life. Can't find a deathdate either.

Wang Huo has undergone a major operation very recently, is described as very weak and family "took time to tell him" (one day) I'm guessing a heart operation considering his earlier heart problems.

Recent image of Maori King Tūheitia Paki, judge for yourself: Samoa's Tui Ātua Tupua Tamasese Efi attended the same event and seemed to be doing fine. Efi at this point is probably around twice his country's life expectancy. Edit: Doesn't deserve its own post so putting it here, Big Brother Finland competitor Jasmiina Yildiz has cervical cancer spread to the lymph nodes.

Isa Kasimi or Igors Rausis, Latvian former Chess GM who in 2019 lost his titles and was given a six year ban for cheating (browsing phone on the loo) has reportedly died at 62 following 21 years with cancer.
