Maksim supposedly out of coma and in "clear conciousness"... to be believed by about as much as those lung damage reports: https://news.sportbox.ru/Vidy_sporta/Futbol/Russia/premier_league/spbnews_NI1379430_Spartak_vyrazil_podderzhku_pevice_MakSim_vyvedennoj_iz_komy

It's ironic in the Alanis Morissette way.

Crossposting the death of Dieter Brummer at only 45 years. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9825193/Dieter-Brummer-dead-Home-Away-star-known-playing-Shane-Parrish-dies-aged-45.html As it was a likely suicide, this is the second unnatural death related to the show this year.

I have to crosspost this in the "Home and Away" thread - another early death for that show - it's cursed!

Civil Rights activist Robert Moses has died at 86: https://apnews.com/article/science-49c084dbe580042f51d4874184e63d23

Oh, yeah, Jiroemon Kimura, too. Joined about a year or so before his namesake died.

I just saw that. He had to stop chemo because it was too hard. Now he's on immunotherapy which seems to work less effective. He still has some future plans though and is not on his deathbed yet, but in my opinion, not more than a few months away.

I wouldn't even know whether "Toni" is the father's or the mother's name. Same thing with the other parent named "Alex"

House DJ Paul Johnson needs to get get down with COVID, the full ventilator treatment: https://mixmag.net/read/house-legend-paul-johnson-intesive-care-covid-19-news/

Oh! Yes, a big name in Germany. King of late night talk shows before that was a thing (i.e. before we made our own version of the David Letterman show). He already did it in the 80s. Then he became a very popular TV cook, in a sort of talk show/cooking show format.

Two thirds of all Indians have COVID antibodies: https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-govt-survey-shows-two-thirds-have-coronavirus-antibodies-2021-07-20/ Excess mortality in 2020 in India was higher than expected by up to 4,9 million deaths: https://www.reuters.com/world/india/indias-30093-new-covid-19-cases-are-lowest-daily-figure-4-mths-2021-07-20/ When all this is said and done, COVID will have infected billions of people, and killed possibly 10-20 million people, or more, depending on the devlopment of more variants, and on what's going on in Africa.

British-Hungarian composer Thomas Rajna has died at 92: https://operawire.com/obituary-hungarian-composer-thomas-rajna-passes-away-aged-92/ Unique DDP pick.

I wonder if he had a cat, a Nyan cat.

The "Havana syndrome"... diplomatic US personnel reporting unexplained headaches and dizziness at embassies: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/many-200-americans-have-now-reported-possible-symptoms-havana-syndrome-n1274385 Some belive it's the Russians and possibly microwaves. Some say it's mass hysteria not unlike the UFO phenomenom. Here, I also believe it's real. And it seems there just was an incident here in Berlin. I need to have a look.

Apparently, DDP and Deathrace pick Jack Arends, the Democratic elector, has just died: https://newdeaths.com/2021/07/19/jack-arends-obituary-death-jack-arends-has-died/ Washington State senator Patty Murray confirms. I think he lived too long to still be obitable, but we'll see, I guess.

Of course, you've come to the right place. Harrison Ruffin Tyler, grandson of US president Tyler. Father born in 1853: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyon_Gardiner_Tyler Grandfather born in 1790: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyler Other curious cases, but dead, are the Civil War widows/daughters Irene Triplett and Helen Viola Jackson.

Probably because of Lady Gaga's advanced age.

No, not dead, but an update on the most important pick this round, Russian singer Maksim: https://ria.ru/20210719/maksim-1741783647.html Stable, but serious, still in coma. Minimal improvements recently, but there has been a little up-and-down in the past weeks. Her manager also warned not to believe in health updates as the personel is not allowed to give out information. So the damage to her lungs, rumours or true? Can't believe neither of us had another hit recently, but they seem to come in a bunch.

Centenarian actress Mary Ward no longer living: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9801497/Veteran-actress-Prisoner-star-Mary-Ward-dies-peacefully-aged-106.html

Almost. But again, just manually change the url and it does count: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/news/pilar-bardem-dies-mother-javier-224345919.html (Also, there's a Daily Mail obit.)

Alan Dean Foster likes to update his blog exactly on the 1st of each month. For July, he updated that he went back into the gym again. A little weak because of chemo, but he "refuses to concede his age": https://www.alandeanfoster.com/version2.0/frameset.htm

Scottish journalist Ally McLaws had problems with his treatment which had been working well so far. They now have to set him up on a different treatment. https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/19450730.ally-mclaws---living-cancer-pandemic-feared-happened-now-last-line-defense/
