    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    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. 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.

    World War II Veterans

    Interesting, I think there's many more , The Bahamas seems to have had four in 2022, atleast Vernon Pinder should be living: Prince Albert Jacob, born in Trinidad, lives in the UK. He was interviewed a couple of times last year, likely still alive too. (Not part of the West Indies but Belize has some veterans living too, Rudolph Middleton recently turned 100)

    From Cleric To Relic

    Just saw this on my YouTube "recommended" videos, Jayapataka Swami looking absolutely horrible, even more horrible than usual: Near the start he also seems to say there's water in his lungs. I'm not a fan of these cultlike religious leaders but it's incredibly impressive he's still alive with his 15 years of severe health issues and I don't know how anyone could enjoy being alive in that state.

    Dying Off The Radar

    He was alive! Harry Lewing (imdb) apparently died without much fanfare in December, two days before his 100th birthday. Very unfortunate he did not receive any media attention considering he won a Jussi Award in 1953, but he was quite a "forgotten relic". As far as I know there are no centenarian Finns with imdb pages at the moment, oldest I'm aware of is Hilkka Kinnunen.

    African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

    Marcel Niat Njifenji dea...nope, re-elected President of the Senate of Cameroon. South Sudanese political relic Abel Alier Kwai doesn't look very great here.

    Political Frailty

    Josip Manolić turns 104. Family statements on his health are a bit contradictory, he's "in good health" but also unable to be interviewed because he's "on medication, unable to hear and speaks poorly"

    Miloš Zeman

    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:

    The Dead of 2024

    I've seen a few of the videos of them. Horrible story but atleast (as far as I know) the family is currently getting the support they need That's Ray, the one who communicates by barking. I think he's around 70 now.

    Hospitalised!

    Susana Baca out of ICU, but "still delicate". Swami Smaranananda critical again. He underwent a tracheotomy last week but then developed acute kidney failure and is now on dialysis. Also, Mark Coleman has been discharged again, Jayapataka Swami is out of home care and did a long speech today. Manolis Mavrommatis is apparently critical again too.

    The Chequered Flag

    Red Farmer is back repairing cars, and "will be back driving": Considering his age and past health issues, he seems to have made a good recovery.

    African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

    Marcel Niat Njifenji returns from France to Cameroon according to DW. Apparently he had another "medical emergency" in December when he was in "very critical condition" on respiratory support. The article claims he is currently unable to talk or walk. New name reported to be in failing health is Clément Atangana, head of Cameroon's Supreme Court.

    Jayapataka Swami suffering from infection, fever and worsening kidney function, but it doesn't sound serious. Likely going to have to start dialysis again soon, currently being treated by a medical team at his Kolkata "hospital at home".

    Huang Xuhua celebrated his birthday early this month and, like his teacher, seems to be "permanently hospitalised" now too. They also now claim he's 100.

    Hospitalised!

    Faustao has undergone a kidney transplant, but it "isn't working yet" and he also suffers from lymphatic issues. Mark Coleman still in ICU but awake and responsive, seems like he'll survive this too. Last but not least, Alexander Mitta finally discharged after four months of hospitalisation, "feels fine and communicates"
