drol 12,001 Posted December 5, 2019 On the mend according to some sources. Though I find genuinely frustrating that no old dick with severe illnesses who gets hospitalized dies, I honestly thought this was the end for him. The foundation announced he was in hospital after "battling prostate cancer for years", which is usually a pre-death formula (see Zine Ben Ali). I won't put my money on him seeing 2021, and I am usually very cautious with predictions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roaming_comrade 471 Posted December 5, 2019 Btw, Tutu's age is wrong in the Death List. He is noted as turning 87 in 2019 but he turned 88. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
