Here: On 23/12/2023 at 20:56, arghton said: https://www.dailyshincho.jp/article/2017/05160800/ Searching around I found this Japanese-language article from 2017 where Yoko Ono's younger brother (Keisuke Ono) says Sean told him that Yoko was diagnosed with lewy body dementia in May or June 2016. Not sure if this was ever mentioned in non-Japanese news or the forums but I assume this is the "undisclosed illness" she has needed round-clock care for the last few years. Definitely should be kept on the list 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LWCZ 185 Posted July 25 To be honest, Clarence Carter, Bobby Vinton and Garnet Mimms could be a great shout for 2025, turnin' 89, 90, and 92 next year. All are kinda obitable names. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trome 128 Posted July 26 Some other options to consider: Russell M Nelson (1924) Woody Woodbury (1924) Valdas Adamkus (1926) Estelle Parsons (1927) Jim Lovell (1928) Alejandro Jodorowsky (1929) Warren Buffett (1930) Jordi Pujol (1930) Silvia Pinal (1931) Maggie Smith (1934) Alan Bennett (1934) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MortalCaso 1,624 Posted July 26 If we are mentioning Warren Buffett I would throw out George Soros (b. 1930) as well. Both picks seem fairly weak though besides being old and an easy obit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 480 Posted July 26 On 20/07/2024 at 23:21, The Daredevil said: Some essential newbies for the 2025 DL... if they make it Alain Delon: Wheelchair bound, verging towards ninety in 2025, suffering from lymphoma, recovering from a severe stroke from five years ago, his family is breaking apart and he is in the middle of the Delon family fight. James Earl Jones: Will be 94 in January, has been close to 300 pounds for most of his life, has been out of the spotlight as of late, has had a history of diabetes going back to the 1990s. June Spencer: Um, she'll be 106 next June. Eva Marie Saint: Um, she'll be 101 next July. Teri Garr: Will be 80 this December, has suffered from multiple sclerosis for decades, has been too quiet. The last 3 are already on my list. Delon will likely make my list last year. And I can't really argue with James Earl Jones, either. All sensible choices.

MrWonderful 480 Posted July 26 Those familiar with American football (the NFL) would know about Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy. He will turn 99 (assuming he makes it) on August 3 and would turn 100 next year. I haven't seen or heard much of him this year, but towards the end of last year I saw some articles in which he appeared to be active and doing quite well. I've resisted putting Dick Van Dyke on my list because I've simply thought that he wasn't more likely to die than 50 other names in a given year, but I may reconsider that stance next year because perhaps 100 should be the line of demarcation. Anyway, not to be Captain Obvious, but I think anyone is worth serious consideration once they hit 100, no matter how healthy they appear to be. But who am I kidding, he won't be famous enough to make the site's Top 50. Three other suggestions: Ion Iliescu (former Romanian president is 94 and has been in failing health for years) Georg Koch (just 52, has terminal pan-can; is he famous enough?) Noddy Holder (isn't it just a matter of when the drugs stop working?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strikes me as a big enough name for the DL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything has been denied, but there's no smoke without fire... 94 tomorrow, has been in poor health since atleast 2004 and is Shia Islam's top man.

Wigan Warriors rugby league, if you were wondering what shirt Jake was wearing. He also made his ECW debut in 1997 wearing a Wigan Warriors top, presumably it's some sort of Wigan/Snake Pit training tribute? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted August 4 French actor, Hubert Saint-Macary, turning 76 in 2025. His brother, Xavier, another French actor, (who looked healthier than Hubert) died inexplicably from a heart attack at 39, so there may well be family history of heart trouble. Hubert also has not done any acting projects since 2020. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted August 4 I watched a video on CTE yesterday and the vlogger suggested that superstar boxer Ryan Garcia might be going the way of Aaron Hernandez...I can believe it. Also, on people with brain damage... RFK jr. is having a LOT of it, not just the worm. He recently told Roseanne Barr that he put a dead bear in Central Park 10 years ago. It was a bit of a mystery back then: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-admits-dead-bear-cub-old-bicycle-central-park-10-years-ago/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't look that great as of late, is an ex-smoker, and seemed to fall asleep in a recent interview. He will 100% receive numerous write ups when he dies, from the likes of The Sun/Daily Mail. Although not deathlist worthy, maybe someone to consider for deadpools and personal lists. Jack Karlson dead.
