Somehow I beat Whitehouse to this. Death by electrically charged ping pong-ball sex toy (???): https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/man-killed-sex-toy-electrocuted-29982693 Read the article for the very complicated setup.

Next K-pop suicide: Haedoo at just 29 years: https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/entertainment-others/k-pop-star-haesoo-dies-by-suicide-8610714/ Was wondering if K-Pop already has their own thread, might be worth it.

Oh, his wife will keep him alive on machines for years and update us every time a nerve twitches. "We can get him out of brain death if you donate just a few dollars more!"

News already out for a month but she sold her stage outfits and even some of her glasses. The end is getting closer: https://newsinfrance.com/to-help-brigitte-macron-nana-mouskouri-sells-her-dresses-at-auction/

Interesting. For some reason, we cant seem to get it right.

For years, her staff covered up her mental health through an on-call system that ensured that she was never alone: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/dianne-feinstein-health-crisis-senate-resign-1234734590/ Real leeches.

Didn't like the huge spread between jury and public vote. Rarely has the audience's preference for one song been as clear as here. Interesting. When having to choose (in music), I always go for the bolder choice. The audience mostly went with me this time - except for Spain, which, as I was fully aware, was a lot. I'm also a bit sad about Germany. I wonder why the result is the way it is. Was the song tone-deaf? Too robotic? Maybe Germany should sing in German next time.

Is Lukashenko dead??????? https://www.intellinews.com/is-lukashenko-dead-278618/?source=belarus

Think an update has to wait until next Tuesday. We're on day...6 now? I'm back home late Sunday, maybe I can get something in then.

Probably the last living "original" person of the kind of people this thread might have been created for. She did it long enough and relevant enough though to qualify, imo.

As just posted by drol, Moon Fun Chin is dead. But english-language obits for the chinese people are always a big ask.

She reminds me of Strom Thurmond in the wheelchair and former DeathList entree Maureen O'Hara when she got her lifetime achievement award. Both were dead half a year later. AND she's 10+ years younger than them and looks just as bad.

He doesn't look bad at all. If true though, not one for long. Though it does seem to me that cancer treatment made quite some progress which we now get to see through the pre/post-Corona contrast.

Carmen Brown-Bender has died for me: https://www.al.com/life/2023/05/carmen-brown-broadcaster-who-became-mobiles-mojo-muse-has-died.html

Terrence Hardiman of The Demon Headmaster, and probably also Doctor Who, dead at 86: https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/terrence-hardiman-actor-dead-the-demon-headmaster-cbbc-the-crown-tributes-b1079681.html

Yes indeed! Remember, he wanted to be her tampon.

Gary Prado Salmon, the Bolivian general "who captured Che Guevara" has died at 84: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-08/bolivian-general-who-captured-che-guevara-dies/102317658

Well done, Perhaps! I think you might be winning some more soon.

He wont go easily... he's like Sumner Redstone this way. But I'd say rather confidently, that he has less than a year left.

You'd be disgusted how I found the name. I didnt even open Facebook. I just saw hospice (didnt know why), and jokered him because, like Banana, I thought the obit was the most likely. Beverly Shade is on a cannula in hospital. She got fast-tracked for the womens' wrestling HOF. Should be a relatively safe bet. I wonder if my avoidance of Christy Dignam is going to be a mistake.

Apparently, Samuel Durrance has died: http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-050523a-astronaut-samuel-durrance-obituary.html
