    The 100 Club

    There are immortals listers Zou Yu (1920), former Minister of Justice of China and Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow (1921), former Senegal Minister of Education. 1922 has around five or six names as far as I know. Atleast Roland Dumas, María Isabel Rodríguez, Gaositwe Chiepe, Boris Kravtsov and Uriel García Cáceres.

    The 100 Club

    Sora must've been the oldest living former minister in the world. I wonder who that title would go to now. If Song Ping doesn't count, Josip Manolic?

    The 100 Club

    This aged well... Sora was still posting facebook messages around two days ago and looked fine in images from this week, I assume it was an unexpected death. Or "unexpected", he was 106. Centenarians DP hit + as far as I know also a pick (and joker) in Hares

    From Cleric To Relic

    KH Ali Yafie being reported to have finally died at 96, pronounced dead forty minutes ago according to facebook messages...
  8. Carter next unless something unexpected happens - will they die from top to bottom? Who's there from less mentioned "people who've been dying/very ill for ages but aren't dead yet"? Drol and Tracy mentioned a few good ones back in October, how's Walt Brown alive looking at pictures from nearly two decades ago? Read somewhere a while ago that Yan Mingfu was already suffering from atleast myasthenia gravis in 2002. Here's some more miracles/perennially ills: C. R. Rao (102, unable to hold a knife on his 100th birthday. Wheelchairbound and frail for years. As far as I know only picked by one team in Centenarians DP this year) Bobby Cox (81, severe stroke in 2019 and congestive heart failure in 2020...) Tongolele/Yolanda Montes (91, suffering from dementia for 13 years or more) M. S. Swaminathan (97, looked very frail a year ago when his wife died.) Mihai Șora (106, some years ago he spent a whole month in ICU recovering from a surgery. Also said to be ill around a year ago. This year he's able to walk without aid and seems to be in good health) Đorđe Mihailović (94, suffering from a serious lung disease for years) Akihiro Miwa (87, after surviving Nagasaki has suffered from ailments related to radiation exposure his whole life, chronic bronchitis in the 1970s, in worsening health and according to doctors had three months to live in 1984, again twice very ill with "chronic illness" in the 1990s. Stroke in 2019, seemingly recovered perfectly) Rabbi Erwin Schild (102, has been on oxygen for the last eight years yet still doing fine) Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah (96/97, morbidly obese earlier in life, already in failing health two decades ago with frequent hospitalisations and ICU visits, gravely ill with chronic ailments, gastrointestinal perforation and possible cardiac arrest and underwent tracheotomy in 2007, hospitalised for two and a half years, later hospitalised and gravely ill multiple times, fed through a tube) Ed Iskendrian (101, the Camfather has been chainsmoking cigars for most of his life and still does, never really looked healthy) Yuan Wei-jen (54, he's been a "vegetable" for four years now following a stroke and also suffers from a brain tumor, needs 24/7 care) George Ali Murad Khan (89, shot through his stomach and right lung in the 1940s. Unable to hold a knife properly in recent images) Vojo Stanić (99, more proof that cigar smokers don't always die young. Still smokes cigars daily.) Y Điêng (95, seems to have aged backwards in recent years somehow, not Dieng yet) Pasqual Maragall (82, suffering from Alzheimer's for 16 or 17 years) U Win Htein (81, suffering from a plethora of different incurable ailments for years) Nikolai Tarakanov (88, Chernobyl hero who needs eight different medications to treat radiation-related ailments) Edit, more: Akintola Williams (103, incredibly frail for more than a year) Paavo Lipponen (81, some years ago he had seven heart operations a single year, long health history, aneurysm...) Hal Lindsey (93, end times predictor who I've waited for a while to reach his own end. When he retired nearly four years ago he looked like he was falling apart.) Lim Kean Chye (103, ultrafrail chainsmoker who hasn't been seen in over a year) Ali Al-Sistani (92, the most notable liberal ayatollah with tons of heart problems for more than two decades)

    Political Frailty

    There's also Surayud Chulanont, Prem Tinsulanonda's successor as the Privy Council head, looks a decade older than 79, Meechai Ruchuphan and Chavarat Charnvirakul both of who have never looked very healthy, 85 and 86 and last but not least former foreign minister Prasong Soonsiri, now 95, has had a few falls in the past and smokes a pipe in nearly all of the images taken of him. Prasong Soonsiri is called "The Devil with the Pipe"

    5. Pope Francis

    Brandmüller's one of the oldest cardinals and is my 20/20 replacement if my current guy dies, Arinze's a former potential pope and Broglio (and the much, much more known Burke) I've known for a while from news and controversies. The guy in my profile picture is a young Satya Mohan Joshi.
  14. arghton

    5. Pope Francis

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know he doesn't have a lot of "enemies" in the Vatican anymore. Seems like a lot of them have died during the last few years. There's the US assholes Raymond Burke and Timothy Broglio, Walter Brandmüller who is 94, maybe Gerhard Ludwig Müller and Francis Arinze. Juan Sandoval Íñiguez is another hardliner but seems to be quite ill. Who else?

    Political Frailty

    Cambodia's longtime dictator/prime minister Hun Sen says he is prediabetic. Some say he could also be "much more ill than he's said". 70 now. Two of his siblings, older brother Hun San and younger sister Hun Sinath are very ill, his other older brother died last year, also his wife Bun Rany has been seriously ill atleast twice in the past.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    I'd add Mahathir Mohamad to 1925, got a lot of attention from BBC last year, if he keeps being a controversial powerhungry asshole maybe one day. However I don't think he'll live another year or two. But I think there's a chance he could end up on the list, atleast it at this point seems more likely than the Committee ever realizing Glynis Johns and Eva Marie Saint are still alive... From the remaining world leaders born in the 1920s I think he's also the most likely pick. Personally I don't think they'd ever pick Giorgio Napolitano, Ali Hassan Mwinyi, Tomiichi Murayama, Sam Nujoma or any of those others. Question, is there a chance they'd ever pick, for example, Paul Dooley? Katherine Jackson? Pat Robertson? Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, Isabel Peron? Edit: Sidney Cooke?

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Australian canoeist Max Baldwin is 95 and hasn't been able to use his left leg since around 1929 due to polio. He competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics, four years before the first official Paralympics. Looking at 1960 Paralympic competitors, there's not a lot of info on many of them on Wikipedia or the internet. From Australians Gary Hooper MBE won seven medals 1960-1968 including two gold medals, Men's Wheelchair Dash above T10 in 1964 and Men's 100 m Wheelchair A in 1968. Now 84. Bill Mather-Brown won two silver medals, 1960 and 1968, now 86. Italian Aroldo Ruschioni who won six medals including one gold is as far as I know still alive, now 90/91. Ruschioni in 2021:

    Deathlist Cup 2023

    My joker has been in the dying process for a whole month now and from a certain point it has seemed that he's probably my only hope. He's "deteriorated" atleast five or six times, in addition to "some old age-related chronic diseases" he's had massive edema, he has "stopped breathing", had pleural effusion, "spots on his heart" - what the hell does that even mean? ...and having followed facebook talk on him there's been atleast two times where they've been sure he's going to die and some family members have rushed to the hospital. The guy is ninety fucking six, not even a septuagenarian Bangladeshi politician like these types usually tend to be. I should stop picking immortals. Andres Garcia is terminally ill, but was said to be "fine" a few days ago. How's he alive? He's 81 and overdosed on coke three months ago while suffering from cirrhosis and cancer. With Enilce Lopez I likely fell into a Fujimori/El Bronco trap. Don't know how Sebastian Brodrick is alive but I assume he's mysteriously improved by now. Everyone else was a gamble, either terminally ill, very old or very old and terminally ill but none were guaranteed deaths at the start of the month. However I think some of the zero to zeros will end in coming days. Would just need a couple of terminally ills or people over the age of 105 to die.
