Yeah, pneumonia can be deadly, especially for ancient people like Bhumibol. I think that not even SC would try to deny that. The question is whether a severe bout of pneumonia in his past has any significance when predicting his current life expectancy. I guess SC argues that it doesn't have any, I'd be a little more cautious. I think all these episodes seem to indicate that his general state of health is rather poor, and he is unlikely to survive for another 5 or 10 years, even if none of what SotD listed above were terminal. The past problems with his brain can help explain the "vacant look" in his eyes as his cognitive capacities are likely reduced at this point. Sadly, I know from my experience that people can stay in such a state for years or even decades without ever recovering their marbles or dying (if they are otherwise healthy). Usually, this is terrible for their relatives, but luckily, the royal family can afford to pay a few nurses to attend him 24/7. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, she could get an obit if she dies soon after his hubby but you couldn't list anything why she would be notable on her own right. And besides, do you really want this displayed on the front page? It would scare the living hell out of me... Edited August 20, 2015 by GossipGabe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, they are fighting for every single day there. His immune system has probably collapsed with all these infections and the antibiotics aren't helping there in the long run. Lung and brain affected, the whole system is breaking down.

Deathray 2,940 Posted September 9, 2015 It's all just a ruse to get the Queen excited Now that she is top dog here there is only one target left for her. There's Louis European record, Sobhuza's world record, or if she wants to be ambituos Pepe II' disputed world record. But obviously Bhumibol would be a biggy, although he's younger than her he certainly appears more likely to die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
