Bernadette Chirac : too frail to attend her own husband funeral in 2019, here are some photos of her taken back in 2017 at Simone Veil's funeral when miss Chirac was "only" 84 but looked 94. Last public appearance was in 2019 when she pronounced a speech for the inauguration of a "Jacques and Bernadette Chirac street" in Brive-la-gaillarde : wheelchairbound, can't even take the veil of the street sign down by herself, has difficulties talking etc… (can be seen here at around 14min). Her surrounding is telling for several years now that she is really really frail and she looks like it. 

She's a goner this next year I think.

Also because Bernadette had offered a famous bag to Lady Di, which is a significant act when we know that Imelda Marcos is enough famous by buying shoes only for herself

The two Bionics.

 

Lee Majors and Syd Little.

 

You're welcome.

Ooh looks like somebody might have been taking notice of my hints about Lee Majors likely health and his sudden disappearance from his  wifes social media!

I never like to clog these threads up...

 

So, Pope Benny, Joanne Woodward and Nigel Lawson all feel like they need to come back to the list.

 

Sandra Weir and Roberta Flack feel like Cmme picks and are sick enough.

 

Tom Lehrer and David Graham are older names who feel like Deathlist names.

 

Oh, and Glynis Johns is still alive. 

 

That's me done. 

I can’t imagine her being selected. Her case is not really that well known. Maybe it’s more well known up in your Scotland but down here she is no where near as infamous as other criminals who have made the list. 
 

I agree with the rest of the list through Lehrer is at the level of fame where he could appear but might not. 

[Philip 121]

Rolf Harris, Robert Wagner, Imelda Marcos, Glynis John Luis Garavito

[Captain Hemlock 742]

Not mentioned above but what about Ruth Buzzi? Admittedly, she is probably not as well known in the UK, but she has had a series of strokes and Laugh-in is a legendary show here in the US.

Yes he's a gimme pick, as he's sadly very very sick.  Low-hanging fruit, if the committee wants it.

I don't know why but he's reminding me of Richard Arvin Overton and not in a good way.

Sandra Day O'Connor should be added.

Jiang Zemin is the first one who died from this list. May I suggest Giorgio Napolitano as a replacement.

Ryuchi Sakamoto feels quite Deathlisty especially since they’ve gone for even more obscure music names like Gord Downie, Johnny Clegg, and Genesis P-Orridge in the past…

[Superstar 295]

Do you guys think Khamtai Siphandone should be on the list?

I didn't recognise the name, but on investigation found that I do have some of his work on my ipod etc.

No, neither of those. Compilations.

Not notable enough.

Not notable enough for the DL. He was a dictator (and is still probably both the richest man in Laos and the most famous living person from Laos), if he would've been more insane, yes. He never did anything the notable dictators, Idi Amin-types do, didn't kill half of his country or ban the use of underwear etc.

Stan Bowles the former QPR and England footballer is worthy of a place.74 on Christmas Eve and has had Alzheimers for nearly a decade.Now in a nursing home and according to family has deteriorated further since admission.

[Sean 6,330]

Frank Field should also make an appearance.Not sure what is wrong with him but 80 terminally ill and was in a hospice over a year ago.Astounded he hasn't gone this year really.

[Charles De Gaulle 484]

Ruth Buzzi: 87 year old who suffered a series of strokes, and has had dementia for over a decade now. By all accounts she has reached the end stages of it.

 

Chaim Topol: 88 year old who had had alzheimers for years and no longer recognises his own son.

 

Mathair Mohammad: Infamous Malaysian politician. Has suffered from series heart issues this year and has recently lost his first election. He is 98 years old next year

 

Zhu Rongji: Has suffered from parkinsons disease for a good few years now and It's not often I hear about a 95 year old with parkinsons.

 

James Earl Jones: Iconic actor known for voicing Darth Vader. 92 next year, lived over 20 years with diabetes and earlier this year announced that he is retiring from voice acting citing failing health.

[Sean 6,330]

Carolyn Bryant Donham I would argue is notorious enough for Death List inclusion.
