Who are the immortals?

[drol 11,959]

Excellent suggestions! Tarar looked like that in 2017, I wonder how is this fucker still breathing. Along him I'd remember Nicaragua Violeta Chamorro and Bangladesh Shahabuddin Ahmed. Hell of a wait for their kin.

Immortals: the 2022 class

 

Here's the new immortals for 2022! I think 30 names is reasonable; list is in the making.

 

1)Nguyễn Côn (1917-2022): Vietnamese Deputy PM, looked like a cadaver in 2015, looks like a skeleton now, so much Vietnam media have to censor his photos for how fucking dead he looks.

2)Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-2022): major drug addict, father of 5000 illegittimate children and suffered major stroke in 2019. Honoring his namesake's legacy.

3)Bob Barker (1923-2023): Stroke in 1991 and 2002, prostate ailments and twice hospitalised after falling in recent years. Only alive because Sir Cunto said he wouldn't make it to 95.

4)Rafiq Tarar (1929-2022): this guy looked like a zombie in 2017! That's 5 fucking years!!! Widowed in 2020.

5)Shahabuddin Ahmed (1930-2022): looked like a zombie in early 2018, when he survived a long hospitalization for gastric hemorrhage. Reportedly gravely ill and receiving treatment early this year.

6)Violeta Chamorro (1929): has suffered from brain tumour for a decade or more, stroke in October 2018, completely demented and bedridden for the last three years.

7)Sidney Cooke (1927): this paedo bastard has suffered strokes and heart attacks and has been on oxygen for an awful bit. Wasting oxygen at 95.

8)Lawrence Brooks (1909-2022): surviving ICU at 112 and likely even recovering deserves a spot. Apparently terminal heart failure and permanently on oxygen.

9)Joseph Estrada (1937): survived being weeks on life support with COVID and subsequent lung infection. Invincible.

10)Paulo Maluf (1931): Brazilian politician and crook. Gets hospitalised with pneumonia 20 time a year.

11)Jean-Louis Trintignant (1930-2022); has been "dying" with terminal prostate cancer for three years. Just stop it, cunt.

12)Cesar Virata (1930): The third Filipino immortal after Juan Ponce "I owned a velociraptor" Enrile and Estrada. Survived a stroke and COVID which kept him on life support for weeks.

13)Wan Hangbin (1925); this HK freedom suppressing bastard was on his last legs in 2016! Now able to stand and walk unaided.

14)Mwai Kibaki (1931-2022): Road accident in 2002, hospitalised in critical condition in 2017, hospitalised again at least four times in recent years, 

15)Boris Pahor (1913-2022): Will be one of the first to fall, but he deserves a spot for being the last famous person born in 1913. And this time I mean famous.

16)Zhu Rongji (1928): he might even be the good guy there, but has been in hospital for four years and failed to make even a public appearance. Suffering from a degenerative illness, God know which.

17)Yang Hyong-sop (1925-2022): NK cadre, now on a wheelchair. Speculation he was dying in 2017, then reappeared looking like death warmed up. Next big state funeral in North Korea?

18)Yan Mingfu (1931-2023): he might even be the good guy there (where did I just hear that?) but you can't be dying for six years (due to a degenerative illness, where did I just hear that) without finishing on this list.

19)Driss Guiga (1924): Tunisian Minister of the Interior, rumoured dead four years ago!

20)Kane Tanaka (1903-2022): Japanese immortal who has survived at least three hospitalizations in the last two years and her declared goal is to outlive Robert Young.

21)Ashi Tashi Dorji (1923): the Buthanese predestined immortal, which shows no signs of decline at 99.

22)Lata Mangeshkar (1929-2022): hospitalised in critical condition in 2019 and spent weeks on life support. Hospitalised with COVID pneumonia in 2022.

23)Kaikala Satyanarayana (1935-2022): hospitalised in September 2021 for COVID complications and a fall, then later in "extremely critical" conditions, with doctors "doing their best". Yet he survived somehow and completely recovered.

24)Wang Huo (1924): Chinese screenwriter who survived pneumonia and multiple heart attacks in 2021.

25)Khamtai Siphandon (1924): Laotian dictator who looked like a zombie in December 2021.

26)Mahathir Mohamad (1925): heart attack in 1989, heart surgery in 2007, chest infection in 2007 and 2010, hospitalised three times in two months between December 2021 and January 2022.

27)Yusuf Qaradawi (1926-2022): Islamic "scholar" who survived being in critical condition with COVID for two weeks in 2021.

28)Satya Mohan Joshi (1920-2022): Nepali national writer. Pneumonia, UTI, pulmonary edema and gastritis in 2014, pneumonia and heart issues in 2021, pneumonia and UTI in 2022. 

29)Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee (1944-2024): suffering from COPD for ages and also has lung and heart diseases. Hospitalised in 2019 on BIPAP support with breathing problems and high bp, hospitalised in "very critical" condition and put on ventilator in December 2020 with serious breathing problems and lacunar infarcts, survived being in ICU with covid in May 2021.

30)Chaim Kanievsky (1928-2022): Israeli overweight rabbi who survived COVID in 2020.

TBD...

[drol 11,959]

And now some musing on those who somehow survived 2021!

 

Quiet, so damn quiet: Leslie Phillips and the dementia sufferers. Are they even still alive?

You would destroy the junta, not join them! Award: Tin Oo. Come on, this cadaver is the only NLD official still free and held the hand of the not-so-nice dictator during thir long talk. Immortality makes you dork.

The Art of Undying Award: Thich Nhat Hanh. The art of dying... three years ago. Just fuck off, old hypocrite.

 

Survived hospitalizations this year:

Saalumarada Thimmakka: suffered fall and ill health, could not be hospitalised due to COVID emergency.

VS Achuthanandan: survived ICU, when he seemed done with multiple organ failure. Redeeming the bad Indian performance.

Alberto Fujimori: was hospitalised 40 times more or less. Ordinary administration. Also his first wife died.

Mulayam Singh Yadav:  was hospitalised 40 times more or less. Ordinary administration.

Yuriko: hospitalised with heart failure, made a full recovery in a week. Iron flower.

Emmanuel Milingo: survived acute kidney failure in February

Yu Miu-lin: was in desperate condition at the start of 2021. Now recovered (???) from blood cancer and terminal fibrosis.

 

Death hoax survivors:

Comical Bob: announced dead for the 46th time in March. Suffering from cancer (now in remission) since at least 2014. We know you'll still be denying it, but can't you fucking die already?

Emmanuel Milingo: death hoax in February 2021. Recovered from a seemingly desperate situation.

Throwing two last minute considerations at you

 

1. James Earl Jones. This dude is in his 90s now and has type 2 diabetes. I not an expert on this but that must be very rare.

 

2. Sidney Poitier. Hasn't been seen in public for years at this point. Was too unwell to show up for a honary award more than 5 years ago.

I know someone who lived to 90 with type 2 diabetes but she ended up dying from complications of it. 

[arghton 6,756]

Good additions.

I don't know how Boris Pahor is still alive (maybe to prove Ulitzer that he can see the year out after all), he's looked ancient for over a decade, above is one of the most recent pictures of him that are apparently from September. And he somehow looks much better in those pictures than he looked in this video from August.

Good additions.

I don't know how Boris Pahor is still alive (maybe to prove Ulitzer that he can see the year out after all), he's looked ancient for over a decade, above is one of the most recent pictures of him that are apparently from September. And he somehow looks much better in those pictures than he looked in this video from August.

BTW Pahor is now the 5th oldest living man in Italy (a 108 year old one died today). Doubt he will ever be the oldest, but the podium is a possibility.

How do you know he is dead in his wikipedia it said that he is still living and it doesnt mention that he died

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:

 

Eduard Kuuskor (born 1918) 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.

Kuuskor, from my original candidates list yesterday, on his 104th birthday, picture posted on the facebook account of the Ministry of Defence of Estonia. Seems like he's now also the second-oldest man in the country.

[drol 11,959]

Lawrence Brooks (1909-2022)

 

Pah...amateur! (Kane Tanaka on Lawrence's demise)

 

 

Age at death: 112

Known health issues: Was in ICU with heart failure at 112. Survived and was discharged.

Cause of death: Presumably heart failure.

Alignment: Oldest WWII veteran and seemingly nice guy. Also seemed more lively than Joe Biden on the phone.

[drol 11,959]

Nguyễn Côn (1916-2022)

 

How sad and unexpected! (the average Vietnamese on Nguyen's death)

 

 

Age at death: 105

Known health issues: Was in terrible health back in 2017, wheelchair bound and likely paralyzed. Completely bedridden by 2021 and government censored his face for how bad he looked.

Cause of death: I suspect foul play.

Alignment: We all appreciated his performances in The Mummy and its awful sequels.

Article from last week on Ma Shitu, 107 today. Doesn't have new pictures but seems like he's still writing and will have a birthday celebration. However his 97-year old friend, Mao Dun Literature Prize winning novelist Wang Huo is in bad health due to multiple myocardial infections and can't attend that party.

Could swear we used to have a thread called “Who’s going to be around a while?” or something like that but the search engine is turning up nada so in here this goes: 

 

Christmas message from Russell M. Nelson, the head of the Mormon Church.

 

Very powerful and moving speech, especially when he talks about losing his wife to a sudden heart attack and 2 of his daughters to cancer.

 

He’s 97 this year and looks incredible. Very active and was still traveling the world as church head before the pandemic hit. I reckon he has a very good chance of seeing 100, which would make him not just the first centenarian head of the Mormon Church, but the first centenarian leader of a noted faith in modern history I believe? 

Forgot to check if there was an annual Christmas message from Nelson. There was. Looks more or less the same as he did 12 months prior.

98 in September, but before that happens... in March he will overtake Gordon B. Hinckley as the oldest ever head of the Mormon Church.

[arghton 6,756]

Luis Echeverria is now 100. Couldn't find any new pictures.

 

From my candidate lists, Elvy Olsson and V-M Loiri have been very quiet recently, even though they both celebrated their birthdays this month. 

And quiet have been many of the ones on Drol's list, too. Dave Musuguri got to 102 weeks ago.

Isabel Robalino (1917-) First female Senator in Ecuador, the Florence Lubega of Ecuador. Has been in a wheelchair for atleast eight years, probably longer. Often still wheeled around and participates in events, legs covered with a blanket.

Robalino has been in a wheelchair and living with Dominican Order friars since a fall that caused her femur to break, over ten years ago. In this article from March 2021 it's mentioned that she has been hospitalised twice during the last 12 months for treatment of "gastric complications" 

However, seems like she still participates in zoom meetings or atleast did ten months ago.

Some more potential immortals:

 

Colin Baddiel (1934-2022) Mentioned on this forum a number of times and first called an immortal around 2018, Pick's disease dementia for atleast a decade (around thirteen years, average life expectancy of someone with the disease is 7 years) and needed 24/7 care five years ago.
