In the UK, a local newspaper would never publish an article about a resident’s death unless they had reliable confirmation that it had happened. If you read the article it’s obvious that whilst they may not have spoken to a relative, they did speak with the residential home that she stayed in. Regardless of this, GRG and Oldest in Britain work methodically (particularly the GRG) and wouldn’t announce a death until they had irrefutable confirmation. So you’ve wasted your breath, and yes, you are a buffoon.

Rotherham Advertiser obit for Bessie Camm

The Commission on Assisted Dying is a website that clearly just copies from Wikipedia. Its page on Herta Bothe was copied from an old version of her Wiki that had the 2000 death date up, and therefore isn't reliable at all. We now know that death date is questionable given that she appeared in a documentary that was aired in about 2004/5. What remains unclear is when the interview with her was filmed.

Ray Wilson dead according to Sky’s breaking news ticker.

Just Jack Burke (Jr.) alive from that list then. Turned 95 in January.

Former Labour MP Jim Callaghan dead at 91. Trolololololol.

Michael Douglas Val Kilmer Rod Stewart Throat cancer isn’t the death sentence it used to be.

How does one mute Sir Creep?

Hmmm news seems to have emerged 45 mins ago and yet Sky or BBC haven't covered it yet or sent me breaking news notifications. Unusual as normally they're first in there. Anyways, I'm surprised he made it to 72. Never looked like a healthy specimen.

What about her? Has she died? Celebrated a birthday? Fallen ill? Been officially recognised? We can't all read Japanese on here so would help if you added some context to your post.

Bella Emberg is missing from the List of Missed

Don't understand why all this Twitter (faux) outrage now. It was already known that Kanye was a Trump fan.

Schoolhouse Rock is cringe AF.

List updated for Dorough. Will be interesting to see if saxophonist Bill Graham is actually still alive. If so he'll be turning 100 in September.

Jean Alexander was a bad one if I recall.

Hmmmmm

The problem that the GRG has for verifying cases is that they are very limited in money, resources, time, manpower etc. so it is absolutely unreasonable to think that every case out there will get the attention and verification it merits. That and a lot of people just want privacy for their family.

I still think he’ll see 100.

Masazo Nonaka, who turns 113 in July, officially recognised as the world's oldest living man by Guinness. He looks chuffed tbf.

Ralph Woolsey, cinematographer, oldest living ASC and Emmy Award winner died on 23rd March at the age of 104. Seems to have been completely off the deadpooling radar.

Fergie McCormick has died.

That's 8 former MPs elected at the 1979 UK election who have died since the start of this year. Quite something.

That story is total bull and has been doing the rounds for years. Last I read he was alive and living in the south of France. I don’t even think he has daughters? He has a son though. Keeps a very low profile but recorded corresponding audio for his books around 2013/2014.
