Interviewed here in 2011. He is mentioned once or twice in articles from 2021/22, and they seem to talk about him in the present tense.
-
Dahanayake died prior to 2008 according to this news article.
-
Obit for his brother here from April 2006 mentions that G. D. Mahindasoma predeceased him.
-
@arghton, actually don't worry about the FB post. Here is the death record for Thiounn Mumm. Died on 22 March 2022 in Paris.
-
Do you have the link to the FB post? Also, can you send me the link to the geni page for Achmad Adnawidjaja?
-
Al-Sufi died in Latakia on 19 November 2018 (aged 90/91) according to this.
-
Rajadurai is still alive at 94. Article here from June 2021 discusses his "blissful retirement".
-
2009 obituary for his widow confirms Jayasundera must have died before that point.

@arghton, @drol, I have done down to 1924 on the previous page. I’ll do the remaining years tonight. There must be an easier way to kill off a lot of these Lok Sabha members though. We know there are no members of the 1st Lok Sabha who are still alive. We also know that the oldest former member who died earlier this year was born in early 1919. Do we know who the oldest living former member is now? If so, we could auto rule out a bunch of these MPs.
-
Obit as confirmation.
-
Not sure. He was reported to be in poor health in 2013 here. Makes me think he's likely housebound and has been for many years. A Zsa Zsa Gabor type situation if you like.
-
Plenty of Facebook posts, including this one, reporting that London-born Israeli politician Tamar Eshel (wiki) died this morning. Today was her 102nd birthday. She was the oldest living former member of the Knesset. That title is now held by Shmuel Toledano (wiki, b. Jan 1921).
-
As per comments on this FB post, Khan seemed to be alive in 2014, so could still be alive aged 97.
-
@arghton, Rahimuddin Khan is a strange inclusion in your list. Agree with drol, very much alive and very unlikely to die off radar.

Suriarachchi died in 1991 as per this edition of The Buddhist. "The deaths of the following Members are recorded with deep regret : Mr S. K. K. Suriarachchi , Dr A. Wijesinghe , Mr L. A. G. C. Abeygoda and Mr M. W. Abeynajke. May they attain Nibbana."
-
There's an obituary for Dissanayake's wife here from 2012. It confirms in the text that her husband predeceased her. Edit: this book confirms he died in 1985.
-
Mahipal Shastri died on 23 August 1994, at the age of 70, as per the 1994 edition of Data India.
-
Iqbal Singh died in 1988 aged 64 as per page 1/2 of this. Seemed to be a pretty disgraced minister, hence why I don't think there were really any tributes. His family informed the Lok Sabha quite late about his demise, which is noted in the text.
-
Died 15 August 2020. Full obit by his son here.
-
Mention of Lachman Singh's death here. Died 21 February 2006, aged 84. That's all I'm doing cos I'm bored now.
-
Obituary spread for Kalita. Died on 14 January 1997, at the age of 74.
-
Quite incredible that this page has existed on Wiki since 2014, without a single source. I've added his Lok Sabha biography as a source, which presumably nobody could find as they were probably searching under "Naidu" when in fact he always went by the name of "Mandala Venkata SWAMY" or just "M V Swamy". His biography confirms he was born in January 1919, not 1922. This means he's deceased because S. K. Paramasivan (b. February 1919) was the oldest living former MP at the time of his death, so another off your list @arghton.
-
@YoungWillz, just to settle this. This Daily Mirror article from 1972 says he was 26, so he was the chap who died in 2016 in Hackney.
-
Shakyawar died on 31 July 2005, at the age of 79, as per this.

Ok, here's what I got from the records. The last trace of her is living in Maclean, Cowper, New South Wales in 1977 as "Thelma Norma Meryl Mckenzie", so she must have died under that name. She is definitely not in the Ryerson Index. All that means is a death notice was never placed in a paper. You can search the New South Wales death records up to 31/12/1991 on here, and again they confirm that she hadn't died by this period. So my hunch is she died in 1990s or 2000s at some point, and because of data protection in Australia and no published obit, we may have to wait some years before it becomes publicly available.
