Queen Elizabeth is in deteriorating health and wants to clear her name of all Nazi ties before she hands the throne to Prince William, yet Camilla Parker Bowles is blackmailing her to make Charles her successor. If not, Parker-Bowles will leak all Nazi secrets: http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2015/queen-elizabeth-collapsed-after-nazi-salute-scandal-camilla-parker-bowles-threatens-to-leak-more-royal-family-nazi-secrets/ -
Goran Hadzic's health is "rapidly deteriorating": https://iwpr.net/global-voices/hadzic%E2%80%99s-health-rapidly-deteriorating Edit: Uuh, if he dies before Martin Crowe, the DDP leader changes.

Afghan militant Jalaluddin Haqqani has also probably been dead for quite some time: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-33740337 Like Mullah Omar, another unique not-hit for someone in the DDP. Looks like someone over there decided to check on a few people (for his deadpooling?) and found a couple of corpses. -
Classic 'Nobody". Wikipedia has a little more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Holland I guess his association with Laurence Olivier is the most important bit.

Brock Winkless, puppeteer/FX-guy, most important in the Chucky movies, but also had credits in movies like Terminator II and Alien 3, has died at 56 to some neurological disease: http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/the-man-who-brought-chucky-to-life-has-died-rip-n-brock-winkless

Wikipedia currently has 47 verified people aged 111 or more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_living_people For some reason, they do not have the 110 year-old people in the official list (too many or none at all?), but they have 7 cases in the "pending" list. Well, I guess, since the 110-year old people have just recently become supercentenarians, the verification process needs some time to confirm them. Anyway, I had checked that list because there apparently was a 114-year old woman in India that just died, but she didn't appear on any list either: http://zeenews.india.com/news/tamil-nadu/114-year-old-toda-woman-passes-away_1639002.html Her age of 114 would have put her in the top 10.

Nichelle Nichols doing a Reddit AMA (Ask me anything): http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3f6oq1/i_am_nichelle_nichols_star_treks_uhura_first/ In spite of her stroke, probably not a good pick next year.

"It doesn't look good" says a source: http://www.etonline.com/news/168997_valerie_harper_rushed_to_hospital/ Post #59 in this thread (from me) linked to an article that said that Harper is not in remission, there was merely an "unexpected improvement". So the cancer is still in her head, pressing against her brain. She might have believed that she was better than she actually is. Edit: Ah sorry, Chiesa, I was 10 seconds too late. Edit 2: This is the old article: http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Valerie+Harper+kicking+fear+cancer+curb/10981933/story.html

I actually believe it is part of MH370, and I'm looking forward to the conspiracy theories that will have to adjust to this new development. Especially the one that puts Maddie at the controls, I'll start posting at credulousasfuck.com now! The Guardian comment thread delivers as expected: http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/jul/30/mh370-possible-breakthrough-debris-found-reunion-island#comments People confusing MH370 with MH17, the obvious "they planted false evidence", people saying that they shot down the plane to hide that the flaperon was of substandard material, "the flaperon is too white", etc... Nothing about Maddie, yet, then? Not yet. Someone said that it was a diversion from a Tony Abbott scandal though. The next step would be to claim that it was a diversion from the fact that Maddie was kidnapped by Tony Abbott, and thus, ended up in Australia. I mean, they're saying now that body is not Maddie, but that's exactly what they would say if they wanted to cover it up.

Malik Ishaq, leader of the outlawed Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in Pakistan and also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of civilians, has been shot dead by the Pakistani police: http://www.dw.com/en/pakistani-police-kill-ex-leader-of-outlawed-sunni-group/a-18615348 He was also on the US list of global terrorists (hmm....). -
Greece's most prominent composer (also film composer for Zorba The Greek and Serpico) Mikis Theodorakis turns 90 today: http://www.dw.com/en/greeces-musical-hero-mikis-theodorakis-turns-90/a-18610091 Apparently, he's "currently" suffering from the effects of a tear gas attack back in 2012, which sounds as if he's not going to recover in this life anymore.
