    Law And Order

    The phrase another in the video title implies that there are multiple 96-year-olds being caught for speeding in providence. I spent quite a bit of time in Providence growing up, great mall, but I never saw any 96-year-olds speeding...

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Likely won't QO (maybe Guardian but a stretch), but will get a an obit from the NYT due to his work with The Village Voice almost certainly.

    The 100 Club

    Nothing as of yet, beyond a line in a local newspaper, which is odd because he was kind of distinguished and well known.

    World's Oldest

    She seems mentally alert, although scant details are available about her physical health from the coverage from a few months back. I'd say her odds are more likely than not.
  5. Edit reverted. If it was true, the Canadian papers (and maybe the LA or NY Times) would likely have said something about it by now.

    Crashing Companies

    They still have stores in PR and the US Virgin Islands!

    Roman Polanski

    So, can he travel back to the US again?

    Paul Gascoigne

    Horrible either way though. No way someone in power didn't know... They could have done something while he was alive.

    Harvey Weinstein

    He's actually ill though - no chance the committee will pick him. Maybe in 20 years.

    Harvey Weinstein

    Because he should suffer?

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    "We were brought up to know how to be poor" my ass... Woman grew up as the daughter of a de-facto dictator. No right to say that or claim modesty. The same brother made the announcement is under investigation by the government (likely by order of the other brother, he third LKY child, and now-former Singapore PM) for some kind of dispute with their father's will. It seems like Lee and her non-PM brother weren't too well liked by the government in the past few years...

    Good to hear! Well, except for that annoying part. Try getting him to pick up knitting...

    Barry Manilow

    Cancels show mid-performance, for what was claimed to be audio problems. However, multiple Vegas journalists/insiders have noted that people should "see Barry Manilow while we're able", and have implied he is suffering from health issues. I'm not sure where to go on this one, but if local recognized journalists are hinting that there might be something more to the story, it might be worth keeping an eye on him for a very long list.

    Chris Hoy

    I had a similar issue with a blood test for a much rarer cancer (doctor claimed I had Polycythemia vera based off a simple blood panel, because my red blood cell count was only slightly higher than normal)... Turns out I just consumed too much vinegar. Luckily he was smart enough to order a second blood test before referring me to any specialists, which turned out normal because I abstained from putting vinegar on my chips for a month... Sure caused me a lot of stress though, but it wouldn't stop me from getting tests in the future if necessary.

    I hope your father's doing well, for what it's worth. Modern medicine works wonders, but given he's been given 2-4 years, we can't expect much more unless he's very lucky. Poor kids is an understatement. Do we know how aggressive her form of MS is? I don't care to speculate about the outcome here, but it's not very good.

    P Diddy

    People with his potential convictions don't last too long in prisons... Even club fed ones (assuming his lawyers somehow get him into one - he ideally should be in medium to maximum security).

    28. Tom Brokaw

    Not always a death sentence, but in this case likely indicative of his health not being the best to say it lightly.

    2. Dick Van Dyke

    Looked and sounded fine. I didn't know some of the things they mentioned about his friend though!

    Randy Newman

    He's quoted in the article insofar saying that he wants to. And it's not impossible, though I may be biased in hoping that, as him and I share a couple of friends (living and dead).

    Scientists, Inventors And Techno Wizards

    Obits in the Globe and Mail and WSJ, but not any UK sources yet (or the NYT who doubltessly have a obit on her ready and unpublished). Wouldn't surprise me if we see something from the BBC in a few hours.

    Astronauts

    There are 5 other Apollo astronauts left. He may outlive his colleague from 13, but I doubt he'll outlive the cohort of 89 year-olds who will likely be the last ones left. Still, unless something happens, he'll be fine for a while.

    Law And Order

    If this video really was filmed a few days ago, Frank seems to have gotten his hair back (well, most of it anyway) and otherwise appears to be in great shape. No concerns from me about his health for quite some time if it holds.

    Celebrity Chefs

    Now using a feeding tube after losing 10 pounds in 10 days. But she seems to be in good spirits. Guy and other Food Network friends held a fundraiser for her a while back as well, as it appears treatment is quite expensive (and experimental).

    Dead Pop Stars

    Sky didn't mention him jumping when I was watching it a few minutes ago either. Haven't seen it from anyone, would likely be something that the family or authorities would release verses just randomly showing up unless it was obvious from video footage that was actually of him. The signs of such a possibility have been there for years as previously mentioned however, which is why I'm surprised he seems to have been missed... The video I've seen on Twitter clearly shows a body landing on pavement and not a patio, so that can't be him though.

    Presenters

    Doesn't say how bad it's returned, so while the initial sign is not ideal... Her history makes it slightly more likely than usual that it may be treatable.
