    Art For Death's Sake

    He does have a Dilip Kumar/Zsa Zsa Gabor-like health history, but he's 20 years younger which makes it much less impressive.

    Still not dead but Juhani Palmu had severe flu and a "near-fatal infection" a week or two ago, now discharged and recovering.

    Wrestlers/actors

    Superstar Billy Graham adds bedsores to his evergrowing list of ailments (and "he's on strong IV antibiotics three times a day"). Meanwhile Superstar's wife has long covid.

    Who are the immortals?

    I predict Sheikh Salem Al-Ali. He's not more ill than usual as far as I know but more than two decades of health decline needs to end some day. He was much larger than Kissinger in the 1990s when this image was taken.

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan

    Cancels rallies after stomach problem. Yesterday a live TV interview was cut short because he "felt ill".

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    Jay J. Armes not dead but his mansion has been demolished. I have no idea where he lives now but as far as I know hasn't made appearances in a while. He also looks like a corpse in that image in the article.

    Why no Indians ever in DeathList?

    Updated for the death of Parkash Singh Badal. VS Achuthanandan (how's he alive? Now also with severe post-stroke dementia) is the last Indian CM born in the 1920s and there's an eight year age difference between him and SC Jamir, the second-oldest one. Jamir was rumored dead in November but he's doing fine. SM Krishna who was on respiratory support last year is also doing fine.

    Why no Indians ever in DeathList?

    Ajai Singh, former Governor of Assam and Lt. Gen, dead at 88. I've removed from the list B.M. Lal, acting Bihar governor in 1999, who apparently died in 2001.

    Hunger Strikers

    Surat Singh Khalsa has recently gone on hunger strike again and media calls it a "death fast" as he's completely refusing any kind of food.

    Political Frailty

    Updating this list. Ludwig A. Rehlinger, West German official, secretary of state died late last month at 95 without much fanfare. Werner Krolikowski is marked to have died in 2016 on the German wiki. Looking at Spain's list, I'm suprised how many of the centenarians/near-centenarians are still going, however Antolín de Santiago might have died off-radar. Ancient communist Mateo Balbuena Iglesias' wife of 78 years died at 102 in October and I don't think he's made any appearances since 2020. Morales Moya is alive but looks quite frail in this image from January.

    Now BBC Punjabi and Punjabi Jagran reporting he's back in critical condition "24/7 observation". Possible that massive improvement was terminal lucidity? We'll see.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    Pool possibility, only mentioned here once before... Gyalo Thondup, Dalai Lama's brother, unofficial envoy and Prime Minister of the Central Tibetan Administration 1991-1993 this month: Either 94 or 96 this year, notable for other reasons than being the Lama's brother too (CIA asset in the 1950s, good friend of Chiang Kai-shek, had talks with Deng Xiaoping in the 1970s)

    Tomas Pinales is "pending validation", same with Horacio Celi Mendoza. With Gerneth, lots of people seem to consider him a fraudster but I can't remember if there's been any proof of him actually having been one. Apparently they've removed Mathew Beard from both the Wikipedia's and Gerontology Wiki's list, Beard was likely 98 instead of 114.

    Art For Death's Sake

    Taiwan's likely most notable sculptor Ju Ming who used for example bronze, stainless steel and styrofoam to make his art, often boxy martial arts (Tai Chi) figures (see Tai Chi Single Whip of Quebec) widely being reported dead at 85, cause of death said to be suicide after battle with an incurable illness.

    Who are the immortals?

    Out of danger according to CNN News18 Punjab and his health is "much better than before", to be moved out of ICU today and to be discharged in a day or two.

    HD Kumaraswamy, Indian politician, son of diabetic coffintease ex-Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and former Karnataka CM hospitalised with fever.

    Badly timed deaths

    Finnish composer Heino Kaski died on the 19th or 20th of September 1957 - massively overshadowed by much more notable Finnish composer (and Kaski's teacher) Jean Sibelius who died on the 20th.

    The Rabbi Thread

    Baruch Mordechai Ezrachi has been in hospital again, this time due to a severe leg infection, discharged already but "isn't fully healed yet". 94 and health history includes open heart surgeries, stroke, infections and a cardiac arrest two years ago (that time he needed CPR, artificial coma and was on ventilator but was discharged in a week or two). Yissachar Dov Rokeach also recently broke his back.

    From Cleric To Relic

    Malaysian Bishop Emeritus of Malacca-Johor James Chan Soon Cheong unexpectedly dead at 96. Malaysia's oldest bishop is now Peter Chung Hoan Ting who's 94 and as far as I know has been ill for a while.

    Hospitalised!

    Vytautas Šustauskas, Lithuanian politician once the leader of Union of the Fighters for Lithuania and Mayor of Kaunas hospitalised and according to some sites apparently unable to walk at all (possibly a fall?). 77-year-old heavy drinker and smoker who suffered a heart attack two years ago and according to himself has been in failing health for a while.
