Desmond Tutu

Recent pictures form his birthday celebration, looks healthier than almost all picks plus some of the posters here.

Remind me why did they choose this guy again?

He's at that age, where since he requires a stick to help him get around, he could easily take a tumble.

To be fair, he was one of the better picks from a lot of meh picks, and he had suffered a major health issue last year. That's why he's on the list now. If there aren't a few more deaths this year, I would personally remove him from the list, but that's just me...

I think he may be removed from the next year deathlist... but that depending of the new candidates and if there are going to be more deaths ...

If there are 25 deaths this year no-one has to be removed, is that right?

Right. I don’t think they will reach 25 deaths, however.

Presumably yes, though there's no rule saying they have to keep a minimum number from the previous year either. I don't see Gay Bryne returning even if he's the 1 in 49/50...

Right. Queen Elizabeth is another one who definitely shouldn't make 2018's list.

Hmm.. Maybe the lingering prostate cancer and the treatment occasionally saps his energy.

 

But yes, at the moment, he seems fine.

Mind still sharp as a tack, can still walk, can even crank some sick dance moves.

Definitely someone to DROP.

 

(video in article)

I'm confident it was a wise decision by the committee to drop him this year from the list. 

Nobby Stiles was really the only poor choice of name removed in my opinion.

Terminally ill people should have the right to a "dignified assisted death," former South African archbishop Desmond Tutu said Friday, following a murder charge against a local campaigner for the legalization of euthanasia.  He has previously said he would like the option of choosing an assisted death and does not want to be kept alive at whatever cost.

Sounds like he knows something and is getting ready.

Pretty sure he’s been advocating for assisted death for years now. Not quite sure he should be brought back to the list yet...

Pretty sure he's getting his ducks in a row.

Tutu, 87, is in fragile health and took part in South Africa's special voting for the elderly and infirm where electoral officials go to their homes or care facilities before the actual voting day of May 8.

Using a walking stick and smiling, Tutu came out of his home in Cape Town's Milnerton area with voting officials and waved to the press who had gathered. He did not speak but blew a kiss to the press.

Tutu will be 88 on the 7th October, not 87 as it states on the official list

Sadly it's likely to be  his last birthday, if he makes it.
