Namely Angelo Acerbi, 99(!!), who, provided they both make it to 8th December, will take over from Estanislao Esteban Karlic as oldest living cardinal.

Mary O'Rourke, Deputy Leader of Fianna Fáil from 1994-2002 under Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, dead at 87. Also the aunt of later Deputy Leader of the same party Brian Lenihan Jnr.

Fazile Hanımsultan, an Ottoman royal who almost became Queen of Iraq in 1958, only for her fiancé to be assassinated in a revolution mere weeks before the wedding, reportedly dead at 83.

I'm not quite sure how I missed that, but thanks for rectifying my error.

Jacquelyn Park, former companion to Jack L. Warner and Cary Grant, and who was impregnated by Ronald Reagan in the 1950s, is still alive aged 98, to my knowledge. She has only been mentioned once before (as Jacqueline Park) hereabouts, back in 2006 on the Albert Hofmann thread.

Jimmy Carter? Capable of death? Pull the other one.

Well, as it is now quite some time after midnight in Georgia: I'm not quite sure how the Hell he did it, but Happy 100th Birthday, Jimmy.

No Steve "Almost dead two years ago with no improvement since" McMichael?

Janey Godley to join the subs bench following Dikembe Mutombo's death, please.

17/55. This list is now tied with my personal record, with three months still to go.

Darth Vader:

Ismail Omar Guelleh reportedly hospitalised in France, and there are rumours on Twitter of his subsequent death.

Alexandre do Nascimento a hit for DoorSlammer. Congratulations. New Round: 1924: Jimmy Carter / Priscilla Pointer 1925: Dick Van Dyke / June Lockhart 1926: Abdoulaye Wade / Noreen Riols 1927: L. K.

When highlighting text, an option to quote will be available. If you also include the "On X time, X user said" in that selection and then quote it, it should quote both the post that the user made and the one that is being quoted. Like this:

Pappammal obituary. Link in Tamil.

The, to my knowledge, only deaths by unnatural causes that have been DL hits were John Forbes Nash Jr., who died in a car crash, Jean-Luc Godard, who opted for assisted suicide, and - technically - Bobby Charlton, who died from complications after falling and hitting his head on a windowsill. So no.

This was a very good list, but who would you say should replace the (now deceased) above? Trisha Goddard might be a good shout, as would Yuri Oganessian, although I doubt the committee would ever pick the latter.

Iwao Hakamada acquitted.

27th September.

Can your next sub be Suella Braverman?

Rupert Keegan is out, and Eleonora Giorgi goes in, please. Thanks.

Raquel Blandón, former First Lady of Guatemala from 1986-1991, dead at 83. She was the ex-wife of 40th President Vincio Cerezo, who turns 82 in December.

Fredric Jameson reportedly dead at 90.
