Seeing Wang Zhenyi is 99 years old apparently and in this bad a condition, he's got to be a candidate for the immortals list next year surely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm... his decline was pretty sharp, he was in incredible shape just a bit more than a year ago. If he is alive by 2026 he'll surely be on it, but it seems too early now.

I'd like to see more westerners appear on the immortals list for next year. All these random Chinese and Indian ppl are a bit boring. Always thought Dick Van Dyke should be on there considering he was doing pilates and situps at the gym aged 98, despite the fact that he was an alcoholic many years ago and nobody ever thought he'd make old bones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with having more westerners appear too, but so far I've had little success with my suggestions despite most of them ending up dying not long after I suggest them.

There's the cultural difference of hospice being a thing in the West. You can already predict that Pratibha Patil, Wu Bangguo 1941-2024 et cetera will be coffinteases with a 50% chance, these people will get the Kaikala Satyanarayana treatment of having a tracheotomy tube connected to a ventilator at 85+ if needed. I can't imagine David Attenborough, DVD or Desmond Morris for example dying from anything else than "natural causes, surrounded by family" according to obits. Some of them are interesting, atleast slightly (Musuguri fought Idi Amin, Wang Huo suffered a brain bleed while saving a child once, Zhang Lixiong voted against executions of dissidents during Mao's purges, Ivan Krasko has argued that his son died from heart failure due to lack of sexual relationships) but there are a few only interesting from a medical perspective. No offence to him, I doubt there is a single interesting fact on Sonomyn Luvsangombo. Currently from Westerners I can name atleast 15 who I would consider potential immortals. 1) Antonia Fraser (92) How the hell is she still alive? She was in a last rites situation in December 2022. Fall, kidney failure, then months later a stroke + brain surgery and god knows what else. 2) Noam Chomsky (95) We all know. 3) Dennis Skinner (92) Advanced bladder cancer, getting shot, heart surgeries, broken hip and surgery, serious infection at 87, reported dementia. 4) Arnold Yarrow (104) Has been said to be in poor health for more than five years from what I recall hearing here. 5) Tim Pat Coogan (89) Very fat, eye cancer survivor, decrepit a few years ago. 6) Klaus Schwab (86) Heart attacks in the past, has been rumored near death god knows how many times in recent years. 7) Richard Wilson (88) Brain bleed, major heart attack and was fighting for his life in ICU in 2016, and has had health issues since. 8) Marianne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn (104) Severe covid years ago that she barely survived, and has been bedbound for two or three years now atleast. 9) David Irving (85) Hospitalised for months last year and even according to his official twitter was in the last stage of his life with no expectation of recovery. Later rumored dead. Of course he's gotten atleast a bit better. 10) Geoffrey Boycott (83) Pneumonia, cancer, quadruple heart bypass at 78. He was gravely ill earlier this year. 11) Count Ingolf of Rosenberg (84) Lung cancer a few years ago, COPD for more than 15 years, heart problems, UTI, looks like he died two years ago but his brain never got the message. 12) Jan Malmsjö (92) osteoarthritis for decades, gastrointestinal perforation in 2004, two strokes in 2006, severe falls in 2013 and 2016, dementia etc. 13) Andrew Bruce, 11th Earl of Elgin (100) Quite fat most of his life, in a motorized wheelchair. 14) Ruth Buzzi (88) Dementia for a decade, massive amounts of strokes, days to live years ago. 15) Abdullah the Butcher (83) ... And this is excluding tracy's US suggestions (here). There seems quite a lot of US immortals at the moment on drol's lists, but not a very good UK representation there - the only Brit I could find on the lists is a certain Cooke... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chel 376 Posted October 6 Unprofessional actor Andrei Neretin, famous for his only role in satirical sketches about the life of Vitaly Nalivkin, a popularly elected member of the Ussuriysk City Duma, has died at the age of 48. The project's film crew has been hounded by the police for the fourth year since the Interior Ministry spokeswoman Irina Volk did not like her satirical "copy" - Marina Wolf - one of the show's heroines. Recently, the show's founders have faced another charge: making explosives. According to the plot of one of the episodes, Nalivkin fired a grenade launcher at a bus stop, and hit a shield with a United Russia banner. In fact, special pyropatrons were used for staging special effects. On 4 October, the actor said that he was forced to leave the project because of the continuing pressure from the police. The cause of death is indicated by a broken blood clot. Local publications say that the man was very worried about the forced termination of his career (he started drinking again). ru.wiki youtube.com/@barakuda_usk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luo Gan , 89, has been in extremely failing health since at least 2017. Zhu Rongji has suffered from advanced Parkinson's for more than a decade and has been in hospital for six years. Hu Jintao is also suffering from neurodegenerative disease. The next one should be among them. Then of course there are a dozen of unsinkable superelders.
