    Political Frailty

    Yael Dayan has suffered from COPD for 17 years and it has advanced to the point they've done a tracheotomy on her. She was also in serious condition three years ago. Edit: Image from last summer Apparently not the first time the death of someone still alive has been announced in the Knesset - former minister Amnon Rubinstein was announced dead in 2000 when he was in hospital, still alive 23 years later, now 91.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Oldest Olympians with a good list of olympians aged 90+ lists over a hundred, around 124 (out of the 4104), five times more than the amount of living 1948 Winter Olympics competitors (around 25 out of 669). Of course we don't know what happened to, for example, some of the Egyptian water polo players still marked "living" on wikipedia/missing death dates.

    Deaths of the Silver Screen III

    Ele Alenius died in November but seems very unlikely that another of my picks will die.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    I've mentioned this previously but in some parts of the world seems like hospice care just isn't a thing. Tu Tongjin has been in hospital for a decade and god knows what condition he's in now as he was on oxygen and wheelchairbound the last time he was seen around seven or eight years ago. Yan Mingfu's suffered from some degenerative disease for more than a decade and was suffering from a liver disease nearly two decades ago. Lots of examples from other Asian/African countries too, Indian politician Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has been in late stages of COPD for years now.

    Political Frailty

    Allende minister. Still a lot of Allende's government alive 50 years on, youngest ones are in their late 70s, oldest as far as I know is agriculture minister Jacques Chonchol, 97 next month.
  10. Japanese Yale economics professor says Japan's elderly should mass suicide... Let's see if some nonagenarian decides to blow his brains out.

    The 100 Club

    Ravipudi Venkatadri seems to have died last month according to talk on facebook but it wasn't reported in a lot of places: Leaves us with 3 notable Indian names born 1922 - cricketer Rusi Cooper who is seemingly quite ill, literacy exam passer and potential age fraudster Karthyayani Amma who is bedbound and P. Sabanayagam, Tamil Nadu civil servant and WWII vet.

    Political Frailty

    Might have recovered from his pneumonia, but not exactly the picture of health: He's undergoing immunotherapy now. Also, on former Indian Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda - his main ailment seems to be diabetes, has been reported in the past that he's diabetic. Very ill last year with complications from diabetes and falls, now seemingly doing fine.

    Vladimir Putin

    Fears being poisoned says some old KGB guy who studied with him, says that's how he'll most likely die. He's reportedly using an armoured train for travelling between his palaces now, fears his "Flying Kremlin" will be shot down. Hopefully it'll happen some day, the sooner the better, getting tired of ex-spies and anonymous sources telling us he has stage five toenail cancer.

    Winter Olympic Deaths

    Tauno Honkanen, 1948 Winter Olympics Military Patrol is still alive as far as I know despite not being mentioned on the Oldest Olympians list. 2014 YLE mention, 2019 image from Facebook. Should be one of the last people to participate in that still alive. Jaroslav Šír is the only one marked living on Wikipedia, on the Czech team Otto Skrbek and Karel Dvořák are likely dead, same for Romanians Niculae-Cornel Crăciun and Ion Kasky. All the others are confirmed to be dead.

    Hospitalised!

    Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and actress Paquita la del Barrio has reportedly been in hospital for a few days. Now being said that her condition isn't "delicate/serious" as originally said, but some articles say she's been in failing health for the last two years.

    Wrestlers/actors

    New edition of that December list of oldest professional wrestlers/wrestling personalities as there's been a few deaths since I sent it. Up to 1939: Bill Mercer (1926) Abe Jacobs (1928-2023) Looked frail last year. But he's also absolutely ancient for a professional wrestler. Fritz Von Goering (1928/1929) Alive? I haven't looked into this one. Samson Burke (1929) Professional wrestler/bodybuilder/actor. Was frail the last time he's been seen in public and that was over a decade ago! Has now outlived one younger, healthier guy he posed with around 16 years ago by...12 years. Bob Caudle (1930) NWA announcer. Hank Garrett (1931) Used a walking frame last year but otherwise seemingly doing well for an elderly professional wrestler. Nick Kozak (1932) Was alive in 2019, looked fine for his age. Steve Novak (1932) Should be alive, was pretty frail in 2019. Caswell Martin (1932) Should be alive? Sam Betts aka. Dwight J Ingleburgh (1933) UK wrestler doing fine for his age according to facebook posts from last year. Max Crabtree (1934-2023) I assume he's still alive and would get some media attention when he dies, but looked pretty decrepit around 2014. Bob Uecker (1934) Baseball guy, WWE HOF Dory Dixon (1935) wrestler and later seventh day preacher. There's an image of him somewhere from 2022 but it's quite low quality. Hisashi Shinma (1935) Former WWF president, this is the guy who said Inoki will never die but ended up being the neverdying one himself. Seemingly doing well. Horst Hoffman (1935) Czechoslovakian originally. Should be alive as wrestling facebooks post about him four times a month. Earl Maynard (1935) Bodybuilder/wrestler. Tony Kontellis (1935) Made an appearance in 2020, looked fine, but again that's over two years ago Eddie Sharkey (1936) Trained tons of wrestlers, now outliving them. Beverly Shade (1936-2023) Has a facebook account and doing well. Irma Gonzalez (1936) Emile Dupree (1936-2023) Most recent pictures I could find from the early 2010s, however his famous son mentioned him in December 2021 Eddie Morrow (1936) ? Mark Lewin (1937) Hasn't made appearances in ages as far as I know. Paul Butcher Vachon (1937) Decrepit ten years ago, in interviews from the last two years he has looked and sounded like he could die any minute. How's he alive? Jim Breaks (1937/1940-2023) demented wrestler-murderer Steve Veidor (1938) Ted Turner (1938) WCW founder, ex-owner, lewy body dementia Omar Atlas (1938) Said to be doing well. Brian Goldbelt Maxine (1938) Doing amazing apparently. Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie (1936/1939-2023) Doing well for his age whatever it is. Lumberjack Pierre (1939) I assume he's still alive but not seen in years Jim Herd (1939) WCW executive Lars Anderson (1939) ? Tinieblas (1939) Luchador names 1940-1942: Baron Van Raschke (1940) The Iron Sheik (1940? 1942? - 2023) Looked half dead for ages but that hasn't stopped his social media accounts from posting tons of messages each day. Sweet Daddy Siki (1940) Retired from karaoke hosting in June 2022. Les Thatcher (1940) Had covid and pneumonia in early 2021. Adrian Street (1940-2023) Spiros Arion (1940-1997?) 99 percent sure he's long dead, but some claim he lives. Alan Kilby (1940) Len Kojak Shelley (1940?) Super Destroyer Pete Roberts (ca. 1940/1941) Ivan Putski (1941) Abdullah the Butcher (1941) Obese, hepatitis, chainsmoking. Still alive and somehow doing relatively well. Dory Funk Jr (1941) Gino Brito (1941) Thunderbolt Patterson (1941) Kendo Nagasaki Peter Thornley (1941) Teruo Takahashi (1941) Japanese referee Johnny Saint (1941/1942) Mil Máscaras (1942) One of the most notable luchadors. Ole Anderson (1942) Afa Anoa'i (1942) Jimmy Valiant (1942) JJ Dillon (1942) Seiji Sakaguchi (1942) Japanese wrestler who was at Inoki's funeral. Looked fine. Tony Condello (1942) IWA founder The Great Kojika (1942) Ken Patera (1942/1943) Superstar Billy Graham (1943-2023) Superstar Bill Dundee (1943) Lost multiple family members in 2021. Robbie Ellis (1943) Flying Fred Curry (1943) Betty Niccoli (1943/1946) Alive?/Can't find much anything (mostly copied from the previous list): Cowboy Bob Ellis (People say he's alive but apparently nobody knows for sure), Allan Pinfold (Mentioned that he's been wrestling from atleast ca. 1938, so could be a bit older than 93. There seems to be only one picture of him on the internet from the last decades), Octavio Gaona Jr. (someone who claims to be his grandson is on facebook), Keita Meretana (Alive? Has had a wikipedia page since 2008), Guillotine Gordon, Paul Diamond (didn't look so bad in the 1990s, however, it's been a while), Yukiko Tomoe, Larry Pitchford/Beauregarde, Black Gordman, Edouard Etifier, Raúl Reyes, Big Bill Verna/Verne, Kathy Starr, Fred Peloquin, Tommy Seigler, Paul LeDuc (not to be confused with the film director), Bette Boucher.

    43. Imelda Marcos

    Our favourite Filipino shoe collector at Enrile's 99th today: Wheelchairbound as usual but was seemingly moved to sit on some special white chair/wheelchair resembling those other chairs later.

    The Happy Birthday Thread

    Juan Ponce Enrile, incumbent Chief Presidential Legal Council of the Philippines, Marcos' Minister of Defence and martial law administrator, lawyer, crook and what else is 99 today. Due to his age and the fact that he's still active and a member of the current cabinet, he's been a subject of tons of jokes, videos, images, memes on how he's immortal in recent years. Below two images I found on Facebook with a quick search.

    From Cleric To Relic

    KH Ali Yafie improving somewhat and can talk again, but in unstable condition. Earlier he was "very critical" or something and stopped breathing. There's water in his lungs, he has "spots on his heart", edema, chronic health conditions...improving or simply terminal lucidity?
