    Asif Ali Zardari - President of Pakistan

     

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16065452

     

    His mental health has been a subject of controversy. He has repeatedly claimed he was tortured while in prison. He was diagnosed with dementia, major depressive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder from 2005 to 2007, which helped influence the verdict of one of his corruption trials. He now claims he is completely healthy, with only high blood pressure and diabetes.

    My suggestions:

     

    Edgar Savisaar

    Arnold Rüütel

    Karl Vaino

    Tunne Kelam

    Rein Taagepera

    Enn Tarto

     

    Don't see any of then getting a UK obit

     

    Dead former presidents of European republics normally get an obit at the BBC news web site, so mr Rüütel had a fair chance. The others, I'm afraid, don't.

     

    regards,

    Hein

     

    I would bet 5 pounds that UK media would talk about the deaths of mr Savisaar or mr Taagepera. First guy is one of the most importaint people in Estonia and had a major role in the independance of Estonia during the late 80s. He has been a very importaint public figure here for at least 25 years now. Lots of scandals etc.

     

    Taagepera's theoretical scholarly work, which mainly deals with electoral systems, is heavily quantitative and modelling in character and strongly informed by the epistemology of his previous field, physics. The quantitative approach is also his general attitude towards political science as a scholarly discipline. He recently systhematized numerous contributions in electoral systems theory into a general, quantitative theoretical framework. I really don't think that UK wouldn't give any attention to a guy who has won Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science.

     

    I also have some doubts about Karl Vaino.

     

    About Kelam and Tarto I have to agree. Althou' I could select them to my personal DDP.

    My suggestions:

     

    Edgar Savisaar age 61, he is is an Estonian politician, one of the founding members of Popular Front of Estonia and the leader of the Centre Party. He has served as the acting Prime Minister of Estonia, Minister of Internal affairs and Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications. Currently he is the mayor of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Already had 2 strokes, third one might take him down. Very stressful job, overweight, drinks alcohol etc. A good candidate.

     

    Arnold Rüütel age 83, he is the third President of the Republic of Estonia from October 8, 2001 to October 9, 2006. He was the second President since Estonia regained its independence in 1991. Rüütel also served as the last Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian SSR from April 8, 1983 to March 29, 1990, and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian SSR (from May 8, 1990: Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia) from March 29, 1990 to October 6, 1992.

     

    Karl Vaino age 88, he is a former Estonian SSR politician. 1978–1988 he was the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Estonia.

     

    Tunne Kelam age 75, he is an Estonian politician and Member of the European Parliament for the Pro Patria Union (Estonia), part of the European People's Party.

     

    Rein Taagepera age 78, he is an Estonian political scientist and politician. Taagepera received the American Political Science Association's Hallett (1999) and Longley (2003) Awards as well as the Estonian National Science Prize, Social Science Category (1999) and the 2008 Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science.

     

    Enn Tarto age 73, he is an Estonian politician who was a leading dissident during the Soviet occupation of Estonia. He was imprisoned from 1956 to 1960, 1962 to 1967, and again from 1983 to 1988 for anti-Soviet activity.

    Is there somewhere a topic where are all deaths of people who have been on deathlist.net but not on the year when they died?

     

    There did used to be a 'Near Misses' thread, but I think it was done away with because deaths were being reported in multiple threads...

     

    Someone should restore that thread. It would be great reading.

     

    Is there somewhere a topic where are all deaths of people who have been on deathlist.net but not on the year when they died?

     

    There's the Survivors of 1987 thread, which goes on to discuss the survivors of all the subsequent Deathlists as well.

     

    Thanks for the page but that's not exactly the thing i'm looking for. Interesting thou'.
