Who are the immortals?

[arghton 6,738]

Botswana had two centenarians in 2020, both female. Around 75 over 95-year olds of which 16 are male, of which Chiepe and Mogwe were one eighth

 

Mogwe was most likely among the 10 oldest people in the country, possibly among the top five.

Erling Lorentzen (1923-2021) Norwegian-Brazilian founder of Aracruz Cellulose, widower of Princess Ragnhild. Looks different, sometimes younger in every picture taken of him, doesn't seem to age despite being 98

Ele Alenius, Finnish politician, former minister of finance and leader of SKDL in the 1960s. Survived a stroke in 2018, moved to a nursing home in 2021 but despite his health issues still actively gives interviews, a really great guy

Hazel McCallion, Canadian politician, former mayor of Missisauga. Looks like a female Prince Philip, still working and currently a chancellor of Sheridan College. Former professional women's hockey player.

Kamuta Latasi and Tulaga Manuella, Tuvaluan politicians: Tulaga was a governor-general and Latasi the prime minister in the mid 1990s. They're both overweight judging on pictures of them and 20 years above the male life expectancy in their country. Only 6.6% of Tuvaluans are over 65.

[Charles De Gaulle 484]

Dilip Kumar (1922). The King of Them All. 98 years old an counting. If three years ago someone would say he would be still alive by now he would have been transferred to Bedlam Asylum immediately.

Bob Dole (1923). With an incredible history of hospitalizations at Walter Reed, extensive heart and lung disease and having looked like a corpse for at least seven years, this wheelchair hero deserves his high spot on the list.

Jimmy Carter (1924). Cancer survivor who seemed fucked, fall, brain hemhorrage, extremely frail. But going on nonethless. Which is amazing.

Thich Nhat Hanh (1926). Suffered a tremendous stroke in 2014, expected to be dead within months then. Went to Vietnam two years ago to "spend his last days" there. Was reported to be dying last year. Sought treatment for pneumonia in Thailand in autumn 2019. Again weak and not eating at his 94th birthday, quickly recovered.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani (1929). Has suffered from heart failure and lung disease for years. He has been on the brink on death at least four times in the last five years. In February 2020 his death seemed imminent.

Tin Oo (1927). Survived a terrible stroke and a consequent fall in 2017. Expected to be dead within days, he is still hanging around in his wheelchair with seemingly swollen legs.

Mikis Theodorakis (1925). Has suffered many heart attacks and he was reportedly "on the brink of death" (yeah, again...) last year in March.

Leslie Phillips (1924). This guy is incredible. He has suffered multiple strokes, has been on a wheelchair for years and anyway kept watching while many other beloved British actors and entertainers were wiped out in recent years.

Monica Vitti (1931)/Joanne Woodward (1930)/Carmen Sevilla (1930). Their resistance to Alzheimer's is incredible. Vitti has had a neurodegenerative illness for 17 years and counting, the other are above 10 years (not sure about Woodward).

Ma Shitu (1915). Popular writer of Sichuan, he is a three-time lung cancer survivor and also suffered from other types of cancer. Was on his deathbed in 2003, he pulled a surprise recovery. Retires in July 2020 due to failing health, likely another recurrence of cancer. Hospitalized again some months later, he bounces back as nothing even this time. A prodigy.

Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik (1921-2021). He has been close to death many times. In December 2019 he was so much dying he was a Deathrace pick. Now he is still dying, but a human corpse like him survived a severe bout with COVID, which put him on life support and forced him to undergo tracheostomy. Now in danger for complications. But his time never comes.

Saleh Ajeery (1920). A COPD and heart failure sufferer who has been on a critical condition with COVID for two weeks. Seemingly he will test negative and be in a Meshulam-like situation. Against the unbelievable odds, again.

David Musuguri (1920). This Tanzanian general was reportedly near death at his 100th birthday due to "sever complications of diabeetus". Wheelchair bound guy is still somehow going.

Vassos Lyssarides (1920). Suffering from emphysema and heart failure, he bounced back from a critical condition ahead of his 100th birthday and itw as the second time at least.

Wan Haifeng (1920). Reportedly bedridden, selling memorabilia, and mostly unable to even speak, his moment seems to never come anyway.

Saalumarada Thimmakka (1911). Was in a critical condition some years ago, was in a bleak condition in May this year. Somehow this incredibly frail environmentalist from K'taka (also the land of Venkatasubbiah, we hail you, 108 year old fucker) looks good enough at her last appearances. K'Taka has something magical, way too many old geezers down there.

Henry Kissinger (1923). Already overweight at birth and sometimes hospitalized, at 98 he does not show any sign of impeding death.

Carlos Manha Manha Menem (1930-2021). Has suffered from double pneumonia (June 2020), heart failure (July 2020), urinary trait infection, heart failure and kidney failure (December 2020). Still, their concern is if he will be able to vote on abortion tomorrow and everyone is confident he will get out alive of this.

Fauja Fraudster Singh (1911). Age has caught up with him. Has been increasingly frail for the last two years. When?

V. S. Achuthanandan (1923) and K. R. Gowri Amma (1918). The former has survived cerebral hemorrhage and organ failure in 2018, the latter has survived a fall this summer and has been in failing health for years.

Philipose Mar Chrysostom (1918). He was so frail at his 2019 birthday that practically no celebration was held. Result: this years his younger successor died.

G. Venkatasubbiah (1913). He was still able to vote in 2019, but looked like he had lost dozens of kilos. Reportedly frail at his last birthday, still heading to 108.

Edwin Edwards (1927). He gets acute pneumonia each year, is regularly hospitalized and alway discharged within a week. This year it has happened twice. His health has been utterly frail for the last 4 years.

Jiang Zemin (1926). Fan favourite Jiang spent many months in a coma in 2012 following a heart attack. At least, that's the most plausible version, other ones including his abduction by alien zoologist to study frogs. Rumoured to be dead once in a while, had at least a serious health issues in 2017.

Hu Qili (1928) and Zou Yu (1920). They were on their deathbed respectively in 2018 and 2017. Somehow bounced back better than ever.

Emmanuel Evans-Anfom (1919-2021). Ghanaian academic administator who looked like a Goblin at 98, the like a dugong at his 100th birthday. Unable to hold a knife properly and mostly bedridden.

Florence Alice Lubega (1917). She has been wheelchair bound for years and was suffering from a "serious illness" in March this year. 

Gaositwe Chiepe (1922) and Archibald Mogwe (1921-2021). Interesting outliers of Botswana longevity. 

Chen Ning-yang (1922) and Tsung Dao-lee (1926). What surprises more about them, like the couple above, is how they share incredible longevity as unrelated people. 

Prince Philip of Edinburgh (1921-2021). Last year he seemed on his last legs. This year he is likely perfectly fine. Competes with all Indian and Chinese phenomenons on this list.

Alberto Fujimori (1938) and Mulayam Singh Yadav (1939). Far younger than the other names on this list, but their number of ailments and hospitalizations is impressive. Fujimori survived heart failure and tongue cancer, Mulayam recently beat COVID (and his wife is currently in ICU with complications)

Luis Echeverria (1922). Hospitalized a ridicolous amount of times with pneumonia, sometimes for months. In 2006 he was already in failing health with cerebrovascular disease. 

Lucia Hiriart (1922) and Leonor Oyarzun (1919). The Bad and the Good. Absolute monster Hiriart survived a serious stroke two years ago which kept her in hospital for weeks. Also congestive heart failure sufferer and morbidly overweight. Oyarzun recently survived COVID.

Lotfollah Safi Golpaygani (1919). Iranian Twelver Maraj who has looked 1000 years old for 20 years. Apparently invincible. Also a remarkable cunt.

John Rigas (1924) had terminal bladder cancer in 2016. The jailbird is still flying high as to this day. 

Sarah Onyango Obama (1922-2021) is cranky old and was hospitalized in dire conditions two years ago. Maria Nyerere (1930) has an extensive history of ill health with many hospitalizions, most notably in Kampala last year. That doesn't seems to have affected her too much.

Tran Thiem Khiem (1925) was wheelchair bound and on his last legs when he received baptism in 2018 and has grown increasingly frail.

Yuriko, Princess Mikasa (1923) is known for many health woes, most notably congestive heart failure which sent her in hospital recently. Queen Sirikit (1932) has been a zombie since the stroke she suffered in 2012 and hold the Thai record of hospitalizations. Chief Raoni Metuktire (1930) has survived severe internal bleeding with ICU hospitalization and a subsequent bout with COVID. Also widowed in 2020. Song Ping (1917) the last living hardliner from Tien An Men era, rumoured to be dead or gravely ill many times, he seemed near the end when his wife died in 2019. Kenneth Kaunda (1924) survived multiple bouts with pneumonia, has been overweight and walking with sticks for a long time. Also rumoured to have Parkinson's. Tommy Lasorda (1927-2021) has suffered at least four heart attacks and has been hospitalized many times since 2016, the last one being this past December. Still in hospital but expected to go home soon. Good for another time. VMAR Ri Yong-mu (1925) is the eldest North Korean leadership member and also the frailest. Wheelchair bound for years, he periodically disappears from ceremonies before bouncing back every time. Larry King (1933-2021) has survived heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and possibly COVID, beside the deaths of two children. Ahmadou Mathar M'Bow (1921) is the designated Senegal immortal, so is Abdoulaye Wade (1926), who was already reported dead at least three times, all fake news. Emmanuel Milingo (1930) defrocked Zambian bishop and exorcism fraudster, has been in and out of hospital since December 2018, suffering from malaria, heart an dlung failure. Falsely announced to have died in February 2021. Mustafa Ben Halim (1921) has eaten at a Libyan McDonald's for most of his life judging by his weight. Falsely announced to have died in February 2021, insted the ghoul is "respectably immortal".

[arghton 6,738]

My list of immortal-candidates, some with more health issues and some with less, most could be considered if they're still alive in around a year or two:

 

Boris Pahor (1913-2022) Slovene Necropolis author, holocaust survivor still alive and going to be 108 this year.

Arne Konrad Eldegard (1917-2018, off radar) Norwegian politician. Didn't look at the camera on his 100th birthday which can be a sign of some age-related issues, but I don't know if he has any. Died 12 March 2018 off-radar.

Eduard Kuuskor (1918-2022) Estonian soldier, geologist and radio operator. Looked absolutely horrible over three years ago, speaks very unclearly. As seen in that video, needed help to stand. Looks even more skeletal nowadays. Died 18 January 2022.

Elvy Olsson (1923-2022) Swedish former Minister for Housing 1976-1978. In a wheelchair for years. Died on the 23rd of February 2022.

Hédi Fried (1924-2022) Swedish-Romanian author, Bergen-Belsen survivor. After the death of Prince Philip she is challenging Olsson, Dole, Golpaygani and a couple of cardinals (now dead except for Wamala and Alexandre do Nascimento) for the title of most "ghoul-looking" people alive.

Ele Alenius (1925-2022) The "He's still alive?" guy of Finland, a former parliament member and party leader, minister in the 60s and 70s and author. Had a stroke in 2018 and moved to a care home in 2021.

Nikolai Ryzhkov (1929-2024) Soviet official, Gorbachev's prime minister. Suffered a serious heart attack in 1990, overweight. Looks like William Shatner at the age of 140.

Dries Van Agt (1931-2024) Dutch politician and former prime minister. Suffered a stroke in 2019 but still doing great and smoking joints.

Than Shwe (born 1933/1935) Burmese strongman and former military dictator. Has had health issues since 2006 and hasn't been seen in public for a long time despite the coup his successor organized. Survived covid in 2021.

Paavo Lipponen (born 1941) Former Finnish prime minister. Young compared to most of the ones I've listed above but he's broken some records with heart-related issues: Hospitalized multiple times in the 1990s and 2000s, heart problems started in 2012, got a heart attack in 2017 and had an open-heart surgery and six bypass surgeries, hospitalized again in 2019. Wife doesn't live in the same house as Lipponen due to covid and Lipponen can't walk much nowadays.

Margarita Terekhova (born 1942) Russian actress. Alzheimer's since 2006, some reports say that it started to affect her badly in 2011 and still not dead. Couldn't recognize any of her family members in 2019, can't speak, bedridden and her family doesn't have money for her treatment.

Vesa-Matti Loiri (1945-2022) Finnish comedian, hospitalized tens of times during the last 50 years first for using a ton of drugs, mental problems, in the 2000s and 2010s for being extremely obese, alcohol and tobacco user, was in a wheelchair for a long time in the 2010s. In new pictures, looks like he's wearing a plastic mask of himself. Died from esophageal cancer and liver cancer on the 10th of August 2022.

Levon "LTP" Ter-Petrosyan (born 1945) First President of Armenia. He's smoked probably more than anyone else still living, has had colorectal cancer. One to consider if he lives around five years...

Looks very parkinson-y.

Tempt One (1968/1969-2023) American graffiti artist icon extremely resisant towards ALS. He was diagnosed with it in 2003. Seems to have been bedridden for the last 10+ years and communicates with his eyes. Still doing art and selling it to pay his hospital bills.

George III (1738-1820) King of Great Britain and Ireland 1760-1820, blind with rheumatism and critically ill by 1810, suffered from what was likely dementia during his last 6-10 years and was unable to walk during his last weeks.

Vassos Lyssarides (born 1920) Probably the only Cypriot that could be considered an immortal and for a number of reasons:

He's a very known political figure in his country and a former representative and political party leader. He's looked like a 120-year old G. Venkatasubbiah for the last decade and was hospitalized for breathing issues in February 2020, but survived and went on to celebrate his 100th.

Young compared to most of the ones I've listed above but he's broken some records with heart-related issues: Hospitalized multiple times in the 1990s and 2000s, heart problems started in 2012, got a heart attack in 2017 and had an open-heart surgery and six bypass surgeries, hospitalized again in 2019. Wife doesn't live in the same house as Lipponen due to covid and Lipponen can't walk much nowadays.

Margarita Terekhova (born 1942) Russian actress. Alzheimer's since 2006, some reports say that it started to affect her badly in 2011 and still not dead. Couldn't recognize any of her family members in 2019, can't speak, bedridden and her family doesn't have money for her treatment.

Vesa-Matti Loiri (born 1945) Finnish comedian, hospitalized tens of times during the last 50 years first for using a ton of drugs, mental problems, in the 2000s and 2010s for being extremely obese, alcohol and tobacco user, was in a wheelchair for a long time in the 2010s. In new pictures, looks like he's wearing a plastic mask of himself.

Levon "LTP" Ter-Petrosyan (born 1945) First President of Armenia. Heavy smoker, has had colorectal cancer. One to consider if he lives around five years.

Tempt One (born 1968/1969) American graffiti artist icon extremely resisant towards ALS. He was diagnosed with it in 2003. Seems to have been bedridden for the last 9 years and communicates with his eyes. Still doing art and selling it to pay his hospital bills. As you can hear in that video from 2012 he has had near-to-death situations already back then.

 

 

Lyssarides already on the list.

Celebrating his 80th birthday and looks amazing for a 80 year old with a history of heart problems. Mentions that he's in a physically bad shape, tired all the time and jokes about having been operated in four different hospitals in Helsinki. Has lately enjoyed watching Anne with an E and Poirots.
