^ Well, he did appear at last fall's Greenwich Economic Forum for a few minutes, and didn't seem to have noticeably declined from that 2021 video linked earlier. I suspect he's mostly just not interested in the spotlight these days, given he doesn't really appear to have regularly hit the media circuit for some years now. And, well, he is 97...

Most likely. This is his wife, and based on public records, he was born on February 2, 1940, so he'd only be 83 now. (I looked him up when he was mentioned on here previously a few months ago. And hey, searching suggests that was also you, so here you go.)

Today also saw an Atlantic article published which has some bits from an upcoming Romney biography, relevant enough to mention given that it talks about how Romney is fascinated by his own death and touches on his suspicions he will die "suddenly and violently".

I think Bardot and Polanski will probably appear on the list in the next couple of years. Anouk Aimee and Leslie Caron would be fair candidates also, but I'm not sure they're in the DL wheelhouse when guys like Trintignant couldn't make the list (although Caron was pretty Hollywood). I don't think Chirac will make the list but it's ok as Delors and Le Pen will probably be on it until the sun explodes.

Sure, I'm bored, why not. 1. Why would Biden "travel[ing] around the United States to campaign and attend[ing] multiple events a day" have such a dramatic effect on his health that he'd actually croak? Just glancing at his schedule this month, he's already made about ~12 flights, and obviously he still attends events. This seems like something that'd be quite unlikely to take him out. 2. Why would Biden be "forced" to travel? I imagine with his age/senility, his handlers have a tight leash on him. If, in the event that somehow this stuff puts him on death's door, they would likely come up with an excuse to make his rallies "virtual"/just trot someone like Jill out. 3. We all know Biden is, to put it politely, not especially sharp, but it's more than possible to be mentally fried and still live for years. In Biden's case, he doesn't seem very physically fragile; there are several octogenarians who would have been crippled by the tumbles he's taken over the years, and his parents were both long-lived. 4. Why should the list gamble on someone who is not outwardly dying and likely being constantly watched by a medical staff when theoretically everyone on the list should be very likely to die? Yes, they do wishful thinking picks occasionally (why else would Cheney have been on 5 times by now) but those are middling selections and shouldn't be imitated. I'd also at the moment be against adding McConnell, even though he's clearly declining, because he's still in the "ailing-but-potentially-not-imminent" phase.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi is a hit for MariNisia. Congrats! 1923: Victor A.

Nelson Broms seems to be the first faller from my list here.

Josh Seiter still alive, blames a hacker for posting a message that he was dead on his Instagram.

I haven't quite entered my "sitting in basement hammering F5" era yet. Maybe if X ever breaks down and I lose my media list, I'll start doing it to keep up my DL reputation.

David Jacobs, creator of Dallas and Knots Landing, dead at 84.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't say Parkinson is a non-entity over here. I've known of him as long as I can recall, and he got NYT/WaPo/CNN etc. obits pretty much immediately. Many of his most popular YouTube clips have Americans in them (Robin Williams, Tom Cruise, Muhammad Ali, Mel Gibson). So not exactly the guy I'd expect this "argument" be made about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No. The editor in question was a friend of the footballer and commented as such on the talk page.

Johnny Hardwick, Dale Gribble on King of the Hill, dead at 64.

William Friedkin dead at 87.

Actually, Gisooo is 100% correct here. It's her. Looking at the associated records of this Vi Goldberg, there's no way it isn't the sax player (she lived in a Palmdale, CA house with an Alfred Avelino, and you can find plenty of sources saying she called herself Vi Avelino), but here's what cinches it: Here's a few videos uploaded by a Jamal Meeks about his grandma, Vi Redd. And here's an Instagram tribute he posted about his grandma, which lines up perfectly with the date on the Accurint record: Thank you Nana for all that you did for me and our family. You always taught us the importance of keeping GOD first. Yesterday you were called home. I know you are in a better place now. You were an amazing Musician and even greater Grandmother. Love you always. RIP Nana So yeah, she's a goner. No such thing as being too big to die unnoticed

Sharon Farrell died off radar in May per a recent FB post by her sister. Looking at her Wiki page, someone did add a death date at the time, so looks like another case of someone editing a page to add a death date (which obviously didn't stick) and not telling the press.

Mark Margolis dead at 83.
