Summer in Transylvania 2,173 Posted October 4, 2022 I had this almost Goosberry Crumble-esque feeling that Mikhail Gorbachev and Loretta Lynn would die this year. Everyone had better put Buzz Aldrin and Pope Francis on their lists for 2023. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charles De Gaulle 484 Posted October 5, 2022 People who I would like to see on the Deathlist in 2023 Ayatollah Ali Khomeini- regime facing its biggest challenge in decades as protests continue meanwhile he is increasingly frail and rumoured to have cancer. Jack Nicholson- rumoured to have dementia though unlikely what isn't a rumour is that he is morbidly obese and getting closer to 90 Alberto Fujimori- Has basically been to hospital 20 times within the last 5 years maybe even more. It feels like the year he'll finally be on the deathlist is the year he'll finally die Ruth Buzzi- Had a series of strokes earlier this year and has lived with alzheimers for the past 10 according to her husband. Her last update sounds like she has very little time left Vanessa Redgrave- Lungs have been on only 30% capacity since 2015 very likely on a much lower capacity now since she got covid which has forced her to retire. Rolf Harris- 93 years old under 24 hour care due to suffering from advanced neck cancer. Interesting to see if he makes it Chaim Topol- His son revealed that he has had alzheimers for several years now and no longer recognises him Toby Keith- Country singer with 40 million records under his belt. Currently withdrawing from public appearances due to stomach cancer. Duke of Kent- Has looked like a corpse for muti years now and it just won't be the deathlist without at least one royal family member on it. Peter Tobin. Extremely frail health right now. He is a must if he sees out the year James Earl Jones- In his 90s with diabetes and has been in I'll health since 2018. Publicily announced retirement earlier this year but likely retired earlier given his last two roles use archival recordings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thadee 118 Posted October 6, 2022 Can we take some risks for 23? Like some possible yet young death: Post Malone/Doja Cat (27club), Elon Musk (controversy death over accident), Kanye West (controversy death over suicide), JCVD (overdose) Mike Tyson (illness) Putin/Zelensky (obvious)... Not the whole list but 2/3 to spice it up a little! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantomasss 209 Posted October 6, 2022 1 or 2 artists from this list could have a place in the 50 names : Elliott Erwitt (1928) because it's a shame to have missed 2 legends of photography Robert Frank in 2019 and William Klein in 2022... Leontyne Price (1927) may be better than Cleo Laine, because she is one the last major singers after the deaths of Montserrat Caballé or Jessye Norman. And also because when she will die, she will be honoured by Oprah and all afroamerican community Pierre Soulages (1919), because he is 102 and is one of the last great painter from the last century and also one of the richest. Jasper Johns (1930), another painter who is the last of pioneers of Pop art. Yayoi Kusama (1929), even if her dementia seems have no impact on her health, she's not immortal Seiji Ozawa (1935), one of the most famous conductors but frail, bad health and now Alzheimer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,700 Posted October 6, 2022 Spoiler Steve Russell (full name Stephen Russell, called "Slug") who made the first widely distributed videogame Spacewar! in 1962 is also still with us and 83/84 years old. Can't find anything about him from after January 2019 From the "Ideas and Possibilities for 2022" thread, Steve Russell, the programmer and designer of the first widely distributed videogame is still alive, now 84 or 85. Here's a picture of him from 2018 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted October 7, 2022 Does anyone expect William Russell to be on the 2023 DL? He will turn 98 next month and undoubtedly is famous enough from his substantial part in early Doctor Who. He is sure to receive a BBC obit when he goes. Does anyone disagree? He has been healthy for his age in the past but I remember reading somewhere on the forum his health these days does not seem as fantastic as it once was; his public appearances are diminishing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly think he's famous enough for the list. He's pretty much retired on age related issues. The recent blu-ray interviews were done years ago when he was able to do interviews. I saw him do one in 2019 and you could see him being quite out of breath after 5 minutes, considerably downhill from 5-10 years earlier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commtech Sio Bibble 2,028 Posted October 7, 2022 42 minutes ago, Sean said: 11)Russell M Nelson Hard disagree here, apart from being old there is nothing seemingly wrong with him, and from what I have seen of him recently he looks and sounds about 10-15 years younger than he is. Of course being that age it wouldn't be surprising if he did die but there are definitely people in worse off conditions. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
