End of the Game ! Marion Game (wiki), actress of the very popular comedy serie "Scene de Menage" in which she had one of the main role is dead at 84. Quite a shocking and huge news in France, she was very present in the media until recently and quite popular. Gerard Hernandez who plays her husband in the serie is still alive at 90. 

She was absent during some special episodes shot in Corsica earlier this year and said to be "tired". I was sure I posted it on here somewhere but can't find it anymore (damn you search button).

Saw Finnish actor Ilkka Heiskanen (imdb) on the television today. Longtime smoker and drinker who suffers from COPD and a few months ago survived severe double pneumonia, doctors considered doing a tracheotomy on him

He's still acting but looks very thin and sounds frail, only 60.

Ilkka Heiskanen at the Jussi Awards ("Finland's oscars") today:

Doesn't sound really frail but I'd say 50/50 he's alive in two years.

 

The "lifetime award" was given to Esko Salminen who was "very ill" with a carotid artery illness in 2007 but is now doing fine.

About Astrid Swan's planned performances, she seems to have cancelled all of them in November. Still active on instagram though.

Astrid Swan update. She's lived with terminal cancer for 5 years now and apparently she's still alive only due to one experimental drug that's worked around two years, looks fine but says she "could have only weeks to live".

Andres Garcia actually looks fine in new instagram picture despite the article saying he's "very thin" and trying to make it sound like he's worse than before. Well, fine for someone who is 81, has prostate cancer and cirrhosis and recently overdosed on cocaine. He's only partially on oxygen now, two or three weeks ago I think he was pretty much bedbound 24/7 on oxygen and it seemed like he's in home hospice. 

Andrés García reportedly dead aged 81.

Ingvar Hirdwall

Harald V

Patrick Stewart

Ingvar Hirdwall widely being reported dead at 88, no cause of death given but seems like it was unexpected as he was still working as far as I know. Always loved his acting especially in the Swedish crime drama movie series (Martin) Beck as detective Martin Beck's weird neighbour Valdemar.
