Hare's Deadpool pick of mine. She had a downturn last month, too, but I thought she had a few weeks more time.

Two names that, if they'll die, will probably make front page news in Finland and I do recommend them for some lists:

Carl J. Danhammer (1957-2021)

PK_Danhammer.thumb.jpg.64fc668c09972f5586f42b8899900f1d.jpg

Scammer, trophy hunter, rapist and criminal and Matti Nykänen's (1963-2019) manager with Petteri Jussila (1970-2004). He has ruined his liver with alcohol, had liver cirrhosis and hepatic coma (2019). He's apparently homeless now but got a liver transplant at the end of last year from some poor 30-year old (whatever he died to, what a waste of a life to die only to have your liver given to this bastard). Doctors were suprised how he's still alive. Can barely walk and probably won't live very long despite the transplant.

 

Ristomatti Ratia (b. 1941)

Designer, reality TV (was in the Finnish version of Strictly Come Dancing) child of Marimekko founders Armi (1912-1979) and Viljo (1911-2006) Ratia. Alzheimer's since 2016 and in declining health.

Speaking of old bigoted Islamists, a reminder that theologian and bezzie of Red Ken Livingstone, Yusuf al-Qaradawi (wiki) is still alive and turning 95 next year. 

100% chance of a qualifying obit.

Apparently, he's had COVID recently. News of his infection are now 3 weeks old, so he might pull through. Could be a potential immortal, if so.

al-Qaradawi is one of the leading Muslim scholars... if not THE leading one.

23 year old brazilian singer MC Kevin falls to his death from a hotel room just a fortnight after getting married.

Sounds like he should have tied the knot a little tighter before falling.

Don't know the current health status of any of these fella's from Italy but certainly should be on people's radars the next few years based on age.

 

Nino Castelnuovo born 1936 -100% would get a DDP Qualifying Orbit because of his roles in Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The English Patient

 

Lando Buzzanca born 1935 -70-80% certain he would get a QO Orbit . Another actor Giorgio Albertazzi, with a similiar lengthy resume in Italy got a Guardian Orbit earlier this year.

Aldo Puglisi born 1935- 50/50 chance Hasn't been in anything in decades. Most memorable performance,Peppino in the classic comedy" Seduced And Abandoned" was never shown in UK theater's according to IMDB

Buzzanca hospitalised after a fall, but soon to be discharged.

Here is a list of surviving People's Artists of the USSR. Remarkably, they all they all tend to receive an obituary in their home country (and usually one in Russia too). Many of these, particularly the Russians, are still popular and prominent even today. After the fall of the Soviet Union they remained well connected and some went into politics themselves. You'll often see them at photoshoots with Vladimir Putin or waving Russian flags at events in support of the annexation of Crimea.
