    List mostly copied from one I made earlier this year. Social media accounts not included in those who died before 2023.

    I've been unable to find who was picked in DDP 1996, 1997 and 1999. If info on who was picked still exists.

     

    Legend:

    On the Deathlist in (year) started 1987.

    (Thread on the Deathlist forums since year) from 2003.

    On the Crowdsourced list in (year) started 2016. 

    Drop Forty (year) (40 most popular on the DDP - started? 2011).

    Derby Dead Pool pick (year) started 1996, but see info above.

    Hares Deathpool (year) started 2014.

    Wikipedia page since (Wyear) started 2001.

    First known mention on the DL Forums in (year) started 2003.

    The extra info and these pools were selected to show how long an immortal has been on our radars and a pool pick, and how many ended up scoring with said immortal. They are in no way a "measurement" of immortality but are pools of different types where immortal types are often selected. Members who picked an immortal in Advent Avalanche and MMMDP might've thought that immortal has only days to live, while members who picked one in Hares might've thought the immortal will die in around eleven months.

    Already stabilized according to other Communist Party India Marxist leaders.

    Rabin Deb saying he's "stable and improving" didn't age well as he's now critical on invasive ventilation...apparently his creatinine levels are getting higher, his kidneys are failing.

     

    Edit: There's some new information - apparently he suffers from the respiratory pump failure (also known as respiratory failure type II, large amount of cases caused by COPD that he has) bilateral pneumonia, tracheitis and "kidney malfunction". He's on 100% ventilator support but "haemodynamically stable".

  5. Nearly all Iran's Ayatollahs...on the top of the list excluding Khamenei - Ali Jannati, Hossein Noori Hamedani, Naser Makarem Shirazi, Mohammad Emami-Kashani, Mohammad-Ali Movahedi Kermani, Yousef Tabatabai Nejad, Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi and Mahmoud Alavi. Most of those listed are nonagenarians, youngest is 69, but all still very powerful and using their remaining time to oppress and cause the deaths of people of religious and sexual minorities, women (especially women who don't wear a hijab) and protestors/dissidents. Jannati might be the worst one of them all.

     

    "Political leaders" has already been mentioned, but current despots and everyone who's helping keep them in power: The Equatorial Guinea despot and his son, Paul Biya and his wife, KJU and the North Korean elite, Ilham Aliyev, the Sultan of Brunei, Yoweri Museveni and his govt, Hun Sen of Cambodia, the King of Eswatini, Assad and his henchmen...

    He's attended some events since this image was taken but looks decrepit.

    Jayanta Mahapatra ill with high fever, low heartbeat and "old-age complications" but not ill enough to be hospitalised. "If necessity arises, Mahapatra will be admitted to SCBMCH for further treatment"


  7. Suprisingly just the first death from my list, and it's been five months. That's a long time for 10+ 105-year-olds.

    Miye Ota actually made an appearance on this video two months ago:

    0:53 onwards. Apparently she had a bad fall and a spinal fracture years ago and has been in 24/7 care for atleast three or four years ago now according to an old gofundme.

    Article about gerontocracy in Cameroon. President Paul Biya is 88, President of the Senate Marcel Niat Njifenji is 87, Speaker of the National Assembly Cavaye Yegue Djibril is 81 and most notably Senator Victor Mukete is almost 103. He was last seen in Senate mid-March and looks 25 years younger (photo in the article above).

    Article on Marcel Niat Njifenji from April. It's behind a paywall but says he's been very ill for some time now and regularly hospitalised (He's known to have spent months in France for treatment in 2018 and 2020). Yet he was re-elected as President of the Senate early this year.

    Miriam Vella discharged and Nikolay Drozdov discharged, Ivan Krasko will be discharged to a rehabilitation facility soon. Original info said Drozdov was going to be in hospital atleast until the end of the month. Did he actually improve that fast or was he brought home to die?

    Prominent Bahraini Shia cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim, who has been stripped of his nationality by the ruling Al Khalifah dynasty, has been rushed to hospital over deteriorating health as the Manama regime does not shy away from its suppressive measures against pro-democracy campaigners in the country.

    Arabic-language Lualua television network reported that the 81-year-old cleric was hospitalized on Wednesday, without providing any further information.

    (**diabolically rubs hands together, thinking of May Cup team**  bwa-ha-haaaa) 

    Sheikh Isa Qassim hospitalised with heart problems and underwent/to undergo heart surgery. He's bounced back atleast two times from "critical conditions", suffers from diabetes and heart disease and has already undergone multiple heart surgeries in the past, most recently in 2019. And he's quite young for an Ayatollah.

    -. Hojatoleslam/Ayatollah Hassan Sane'i (1934-) Fundamentalist hardliner asshole and longtime member of the Member of Expediency Discernment Council.

Good fucking riddance. (And yes, this too could've also gone into the dying bigots thread, but these people are unfortunately also religious leaders with quite large amounts of followers)

    . Sheikh Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan (more likely 1942-) Brother-in-law of the founding father of the UAE. Like in the case above, exact birthdate not known so could be younger than QEII. Seems to be doing pretty well, able to walk with the help of a stick and still active in politics. Also seems to have a twitter account.

    I've removed Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed from the list as the Arabic wiki page on him has changed his birthyear to 1942. I think that's his correct birth year as I can't find much mentions of him before 1966 and he doesn't look 97. Sheikh Salem Al-Ali of Kuwait is probably the oldest living male royal and excluding Saudi royals (there's tens of thousands of them) the oldest living Arab royal.

     

    Another ancient mother of a royal is Bandhu Savali Kitiyakara, mother of Thai King's ex-wife Princess Soamsawali (who suffered two strokes in 2019 and has seemingly been wheelchairbound and paralyzed since) and grandmother of Princess Bajrakitiyabha...Her health has been very bad for atleast the last ten years and she's now 89.
