1 hour ago, drol said:Jiang Ping, most important Chinese legal scholar, dead at 92. Breaking news on all Chinese news sites.
He succeeded Zou Yu as president of CUPL and was still holding a tour of conferences this year.
Senior legal scholars in China include the aforementioned Zou Yu (1920) and former SC president Ren Jianxin (1925).
Jiang Ping was one of the quite liberal "three elders on the Chinese rule of law" with Li Buyun (李步云) who's 90 and Guo Daohui (郭道晖) who's 95. I recall googling Daohui as he was on Du Daozheng's birthday greetings list a few months ago and he has looked frail for years.

2024 may finally get rid of good part of them. They are fucking overdue.
He doesn't have an English wiki page but with Josip Manolic there's Ivan Mišković Brk, Yugoslav spy boss, Tito aide and good friend of Manolic who's also 104 next year. Also Schild has been on oxygen for atleast eight years now.
Others who I'd say are quite "overdue":
1. Marianne, Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn: 105 next year, hospitalised with covid in 2021 or 2022 and completely bedbound since.
2. Addold Mossin: 105 next year, decrepit 7 years ago.
3. Arnold Yarrow: 104 next year, I recall a forum user saying he was very ill and must've been 2 years since that
4. Mani Kumar Chetri: 104 next year, rumored dead this year, very frail for years.
4. Zeynep Korkmaz: 103 next year, decrepit in 2021, on oxygen in August.
5. Betty Reid Soskin: 103 next year, suffered a massive stroke in 2019 that she wasn't expected to recover from
6. William Leuchtenburg: 102 next year and frail, possibly demented on his 100th.
7. Phan Wannamethee: 101 next year, wheelchairbound and very frail
Of course there's also Vic Seixas, Yuriko Mikasa etc.

For a long and stable reign they should have chosen Sheikh Salem.
On 16/12/2023 at 13:07, The Old Crem said:DDP miss I think. Selected in 2021 and 2022 but not this year.
I'm genuinely suprised that Emir Nawaf wasn't picked in the DDP but,suprise, Sheikh Salem is on a team.
It'll be interesting to see if Mishal meets with him...Salem is still the Commander of the National Guard of Kuwait (a position he's held since he founded the National Guard in 1967) and when Sabah died three years ago Nawaf held meetings with him.
On 16/12/2023 at 19:08, gcreptile said:It's the Arab system, and could be seen in Saudi-Arabia, too. But now they've run out of sons of Saud, so we have crown prince bonesaw.
Similar thing going on in Kuwait. 4 out of the 5 Emirs in Kuwait during the last 45 years have been sons of Ahmad Al-Jaber who's been dead for nearly 74 years now. Mishal is the last of his prominent sons.
I think they'll sooner or later make the current Prime Minister (Emir Nawaf's son who's only 67 and has only held major positions since Nawaf made him deputy commander of the National Guard in 2020) the Crown Prince, but there seems to be fears the Muslim Brotherhood will take over* and also seems a chance for a power struggle within the royal family that could get nasty especially if Mishal dies soon.
Edit: Back when he was hospitalised, I was reading some articles from other Arab/Kuwaiti news sources that claimed a coup against the monarchy could happen if Nawaf died. They did also say "if Nawaf died unexpectedly" and there was nothing unexpected about his death. Officially these claims were dismissed as fearmongering but it seems the most unstable of the GCC countries.
Edit 2: Sheikh Mubarak who died this year was the penultimate living member of Kuwait's first cabinet (1962). The last living is none other than that fucking Sheikh Salem, of course.

General Moses Ali (middle) at OIC meet last week. There are more images on twitter and facebook.
Google his name and compare to images from some years ago. Death warmed up.

1 hour ago, drol said:I begin to think Russian media heavily exaggerate celebrities health issues, as deaths to hospitalization ratio is close to zero.
Seems a very common thing in Russian media that there's reports of a celeb being in hospital/very ill and then a day or two later it's denied. With Pakhmutova it went from serious heart attack to pneumonia to common cold, same with many celebs. Lots of Russian 50-something actors and actresses have also been hospitalised recently in "critical condition" within the last month and a day later it's reported that they were never that ill and were there due to a scheduled surgery or something similar.
A rule I've started to trust with these Russian cases is "if it's not denied within a week, it's probably true"

Norwegian drag queen, actor and writer Jakob Margido Esp (Flettfrid Andresen), dead at 80 in Gran Canaria after two weeks in artificial coma.
Horrible year for drag queens it seems, but Michelle DuBarry (92), Maisie Trollette (90) and the indestructible Akihiro Miwa (88) are still alive. I'd say all three have a ~50% chance of obit, Miwa is massive in Taiwan and Japan, Guardian and Mirror have written on Maisie recently and DuBarry's been in the Guinness book of records for oldest performing drag queen.

2. Louis Farrakhan: 90, was on his last legs, "close to dying" with cancer, anemia, infections, "bleeding" and emergency surgery in 1998-1999 and then again "dying" in 2006 with terminal cancer. Later hospitalisations atleast in 2014 and 2015. As Ulitzer said, how is he still alive?
3. Wanda Półtawska (1921-2023): 101, survived concentration camps, terminal intestinal cancer in 1962 and critical conditions after a housefire in 2014 that left her badly disfigured. Again said to be in failing health early this year but seemingly bounced back.
4. Dennis Skinner: 91, has survived advanced bladder cancer, getting shot, heart and hip surgeries and a serious infection at 87. And of course atleast one death rumor. He's had a thread on this site for nearly 20 years and it was even originally made due to him having major health issues. One of the immortal potentials of British politics with Winnie Ewing who's been in failing health for around 15 years now.
5. Peter MacDonald (Hashkasilt Begay): 94, crook Navajo Nation leader who was "dying physically and mentally" in 1996 after heart attacks, suffering from diabetes, arthritis, high BP, Albertofujimorism and severe back problems. Still alive and wheeled around, has outlived five of his immediate successors who were all born after him.
6. Solihin G. P.: 97 next month with a health history of...severe stroke at 90 (2017) and atleast two or three hospitalisations since, seemed on his deathbed in 2018 and had rough covid and a death rumor in 2021.
few more I've seemingly forgotten about - I'll add those who won't be on my July list here...:
7. Gherardo Hercolani Fava Simonetti: This guy has been in failing health for the last 12 years.
8. Ryan O'Neal (1941-2023): Leukemia survivor, stage IV prostate cancer over a decade ago. He looked like a jaundiced ballsack some years ago.
9. Akintola Williams (1919-2023): 103 and has been clinging on to life by a thread forever.
...
Updated.
Solihin GP (very old Indonesian politician and Governor, advisor of Suharto, lieutenant general) made a quite rare appearance on this video from yesterday. I mean, atleast better than what Ryan O'Neal must look like currently..

"Frauda" Fauja Singh
One of history's greatest monsters (outdone only by Jimmy Carter, DJ's who play Last Christmas by Wham! this time of the year and that one tv presenter's mom) Fauja is somewhere between 95 and 1115 years of age. Unless he's secretly an immortal jellyfish, one day he's going to be on the "Deaths in 202x" page instead of a 30-something footballer.

Khorasani (sadly) alive and well. Also appeared in public a week ago.
Khorasani...'s wife is dead. Of course it's not Khorasani, he and all the other very old ayatollahs seem to be doing fine. The frailest are probably Mousa Shubairi Zanjani (who looks like a supercentenarian Willie Nelson, heart and kidney problems, in ICU last year), Mohammad Rahmati Sirjani (never fully recovered from when he was in coma in 2021)
Abdul Mahdi al-Karbalai, major cleric and Ali Al-Sistani's official representative is ill with something. He's seemingly been bedbound for a month now.
Also for those interested here's an article on that Mormon Jeffrey Holland's recent health issues. He was in critical conditions during his kidney failure hospitalisation and wasn't expected to recover.
Apparent assasination attempt on major Afghan cleric/warlord/politician/drug trafficker/former Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar earlier this month. There are rumors he isn't on good terms with the Taliban currently. Hekmatyar seems to have more enemies than friends, he might end up like his predecessor Abdul Sabur Farid Kohistani or his successor Arsala Rahmani Daulat.

SS Galizien nazi apparently found in Nottingham but anonymous and therefore not a name for our lists, atleast yet. The Sun's investigative journalism has also found a 96-year-old in a Newark care home but there's not really much explanation if he was a nazi or if he was once seen lifting his arm up that way.

A few more future miracle recoverers:
Malaysian actor Isma Aliff in critical condition, induced coma following heart & lung infection and stroke.
Indian actress Hema Chaudhary critical and unstable following stroke.
In addition Pakistan's most notable Ayatollah Bashir al-Najafi, one of the Four Najaf Grand Ayatollahs (all 3 living have been very ill for ages) was in ICU last week with heart problems but has been discharged. Quite frail however.
Alexander Mitta now unable to talk, needs 24/7 care and they've revealed he's suffering from advanced kidney cancer. Doesn't sound too serious.
