CaptainChorizo 1,982 Posted December 24, 2015 Looking at this thread seems he has been in out of hospital the last 2 years.Definitely should be in the top 50 for DL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 24, 2015 Not even on my radar. He's fine for 2016. If he makes it to 2016 SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted December 24, 2015 Not even on my radar. He's fine for 2016. If he makes it to 2016 SC Well, prostate cancer for old men is kinda like breast cancer for women, high prevalence but relatively low lethality, and even if it finally kills its victims, the process usually takes a few years. Of course, his advanced age and the various infections he had could have taken a toll on him. Since he is old, he is not a lucrative DDP candidate, but since he's highly obitable, he could borrow a place on the Deathlist, somewhere near the bottom (ranks 45-50).

Deathray 2,940 Posted August 25, 2016 I feel like we're in for a massive die off in the near future and Desmond Tutu is part of that along with many other names. I'm talking kings and queens, ex presidents and prime ministers, musicians and politicians. 10 major deaths by October 1St. You heard it here first 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Walter scheel is the first of those ten names to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted August 26, 2016 His immune system is relatively weak, with all these infections. Maybe HIV? Is he going to have years of hospitalisations like the king of Thailand? I'm thinking he'll either die 2017 or 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted August 26, 2016 His immune system is relatively weak, with all these infections. Maybe HIV? Is he going to have years of hospitalisations like the king of Thailand? I'm thinking he'll either die 2017 or 2018. If it was HIV he'd be on drugs to control it wouldn't he? Nothing like a good bit of speculation though. My prediction is the stress of deciding whether to go to Robert Mugabe's funeral will do him in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
