    Finally...massively overdue (one of the "perennial dementia sufferers" - see page 2). Apparently she was hospitalised a few days ago in critical condition (not reported by English sources and not mentioned here) but she had been in 24/7 care at a nursing home and on tubes since a severe infection in 2018. DDP pick too I think?

    In the context of Ben Ferencz' death, I was wondering how many eyewitnesses of the top Nazi echelon there might still be. I forgot about Ruf though.

    I assume the last people who saw Hitler eye to eye were those unfortunate 16 year old boys of the Volkssturm.

    Never saw Hitler but definitely saw top Nazis - Soviet TV boss Enver Mamedov was a handler of atleast Nazi field marshal Friedrich Paulus during the Nurnberg trials.

    Ronnie Coleman doesn't really look great here but apparently "doing better than he's been in a while":

    He's had some health issues for more than a decade, including kidney and liver problems, on oxygen in 2019 and has been undergoing stem cell therapy recently..In another video from a month ago he's in an electric wheelchair.

    A handy list of all the fat people of My 600 Lb Life who have died, 15 people in 11 years:

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12218751/All-stars-600-Lb-Life-whove-passed-away.html

    Donald Shelton Jr, one of the two Season 1 survivors is said to be paralyzed, permanently wheelchairbound and still overweight. Considering the increase in the episode amount in the last five years, there will be a lot more deaths in the next years...And that "Dr Now" Younan Nowzaradan is now 78.

    Soviet relic Kallibek Kamalov, leader of the Karakalpak ASSR for 20 years (1963-1984), made a rare appearance (and did a speech) at an event of Uzbekistan dictator Shavkat Mirziyoyev's "Liberal" "Democratic" Party either last week or earlier this week:

    97 years old. Looks slightly better than that corpse next to him, likely another Soviet relic but I can't recognize him.

     

    Edit: Should be the oldest living Soviet politician after Boris Kravtsov (1922), Nizoramo Zaripova (1923) and Lev Vasilyev (1925-2023). There's some I'm not 100% sure are alive, most notably Gennady Voronovsky (1924), politician/military commander Mikhail Popkov (1924-2023), Nikolay Shubnikov (1924) and former Central Committee member Raisa Dementyeva (1925-2022). Dementyeva if still alive would be one of the two or three still living 25th central committee members. 

     

     

     

    Are Song Binbin (1949) and Steel Warrior Mai Xiande (1945) the last living great heroes of Mao-era propaganda?

    Lots of controversy, rumors apparently going around youtuber, actor (mostly known for his role in Dear John, but has been in minor roles in Murder she wrote, Airplane II, Dynasty, Psycho II, Twilight Zone The Movie, MacGuyver, Matlock, Back to the Future and others) and singer-songwriter Tom Willett aka. Featureman. He has gotten some fame for his piano playing and watermelon eating videos and currently has around 400 thousand subscribers. 

     

    Long story short and I haven't looked into it much, but apparently he sucked off a 14-year-old in 1973 at Child Haven Las Vegas and was found guilty of three counts of "infamous crime against nature". Strong rumors he's done similar things later. He's around 85 now and still making food videos more than once a week.

    They've finally gotten the expert opinions:

     

    Lubomir Strougal, 97, only suffers from "mild dementia" but can't understand the criminal proceedings. can only understand the meaning of criminal proceedings in a very general, formal and imprecise way, and only at a certain time of day and in the calm of the home environment.

    Jan Fojtík, 94, suffers from senile dementia and is in even worse condition than Strougal.

    Vratislav Vajnar, 91, suffers from a mild cognitive impairment, but well enough to be prosecuted.

    Vratislav Vajnar, Interior Minister of Czechoslovakia in the 1980s accused of border killings now suffers from a severe but very stable case of DEAD. 

     

    Edit: I think it's very possible he topped himself, a medical assessment was going to be done sometime soon.

    Ma Shitu, Wang Huo and another decrepit Sichuan writer named Li Zhi just received a lifetime award.

     

    None of them managed to attend the ceremony due to "old age".

    Ma Shitu (who was too ill to even make a video appearance for that lifetime award ceremony in February) bounces back and is interviewed by CCP-owned "The Paper". The image in the article is really low in quality but he's wheelchairbound again apparently.

     

    We'll see if he attends Wang Huo's 99th (East Asia reckoning 100th) birthday party in the next weeks. Last year Ma Shitu, Wang Huo and Li Zhi were all there.

     

     

    Here's Emmanuel Milingo last week on his 93rd birthday celebration:

    I should stop picking him in 20/20+2.

    Filipino weaver Apuh Ambalang Ausalin dead at 78:

    https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/02/18/22/manlilikha-ng-bayan-ambalang-ausalin-passes-away-at-78

     

    She was one of the 16 recipients of National Living Treasures Award (Philippines), for people who have contributed to the country's cultural heritage, awarded since 1993:

    1993: 

    1. Ginaw Bilog (1953-2003) For Mangyan poetry. 

    2. Masino Intaray (1943-2013) Palawan musician and epic chanter.

    3. Samaon Sulaiman (1953-2011) Kutyapi boat-lute musician.

    1998:

    4. Lang Dulay (1928-2015) Traditional T'nalak weaver.

    5. Salinta Monon (1920-2009) "last Bagowo weaver"

    2000: 

    6. Alonzo Saclag (1942-) Traditional Kalinga musician.

    7. Frederico Caballero (1938-) Sugidanon epic chanter.

    8. Uwang Ahadas (1945-) Folk musician.

    2004: 

    9. Darhata Sawabi (died 2005) Pis Syabit weaver.

    10. Eduardo Mutuc (1949-) Pinukpuk metalworker.

    11. Haja Amina Appi (1925-2013) Sama master mat weaver.

    2012:

    13. Magdalena Gamayo (1924-) Ilocano weaver. 

    2016: 

    14. Ambalang Ausalin (1943-2022) Yakan traditional weaver.

    15. Estelita Bantilan (1940-) Blaan traditional weaver.

    16. Fu Yabing Masalan Dulo (1914-2021) Blaan traditional weaver.

     

    There are a lot of countries that have these types of awards, however all of the Filipino recipients are notable enough to have a Wiki page. Only 7 out of the 16 are alive, but if you need any weavers on your teams...

    Uwang Ahadas, national living treasure of the Philippines, died in October at 77. Further confirmation from this article that has him marked as "late"

    Rotimi Akeredolu in critical condition and will be flown out of the country for treatment according to this source.

    Abroad for medical treatment battling "unspecified illness" and has been since 6th of June. They're saying he'll be back but his duties have been given to his deputy who has said "don't stop praying for Akeredolu". Everyone also seems sure he won't make it to the 2024 Ondo gubernatorial election.

    Dutch neonazi Joop Glimmerveen dead at 94.

     

    (Fingers crossed Sweden's Vera Oredsson, Edward Reed Fields of the US and Germany's Ursula Haverbeck and Horst Mahler will follow him soon)

    Swedish neonazi politician Vera Oredsson charged with incitement against groups of people. Her name isn't said but it's said it's a 95-year-old woman who's been involved in nazi/neonazi movements since youth and has been in leading positions in neonazi groups, which means it's her.

    Time for a new list of Indian centenarians/notable centenarian claimants, this time a smaller and "frailer" list than the one I posted in October 2021:

     

    Up to 1919

    Swami Sivananda (1896, probably ca. 1925-1935) Yoga teacher, once in a while hospitalised for "checkups". No matter how old he is, he isn't immune to aging and has been getting frailer.

    Saalumarada Thimmakka (1910/1911/1913/1919/likely ca. 1928-) Environmentalist. Very frail with a health history but now attending events nearly every week. Impressive even though she's much younger than she claims to be. 

    Fauja Singh (1st of April 1911/likely ca. 1928-) Runner. Frail and skeletal for multiple years.

    Kewal Krishan (27th of July/4th of August 1913-) member of the drafting committee of the Constituent Assembly of India. Hospitalised for surgery in 2019, hasn't apparently left his house nearly at all during the pandemic. Can't find much recent news.

    Pappammal ("1914", likely later-) Organic farmer, frailish. Probably born 20 years later. Wheelchairbound.

    1920-1921...

    Kewal Krishan, Indian minor politician, died in April at 109 according to his Geni. While Geni tends to be inaccurate I think this is true - he had repeated strokes in his centenarian years. He was additionally India's oldest even somewhat verifiable man.

     

    Couldn't find more articles, but here's some further proof online:

     

    Edit: Here's him in 1947 when he was a member of the drafting committee of the Indian constitution (back row, on the right)
