Recent articles on Eeva Kilpi talk of her like she's dead already, and there have been lots of events celebrating her life recently. Strong implication she's very ill and a good low requirement pool possibility for next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bishop Eero Huovinen (80) looked frail, but apparently only due to osteoporosis. Notable absences included: Former first ladies Tellervo Koivisto (95) and Eeva Ahtisaari (88). I think it's been years since Koivisto last attended. Former President Tarja Halonen (80) who's on a trip to the Saudis Current President's father, IIHF Hall of Famer and former Director of NHL Central Scouting Göran Stubb (89) I also didn't spot former Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen (83) there.

Here the two are in 2018: Luis de Alba hospitalised again with heart problems. Edit: They're saying that the "prognosis is reserved, but there is hope for recovery" and that he suffers from an unspecified lung disease. One of the articles says that some years ago he made a bet with 7 other comedians on who'll be the last one alive, each depositing 2500$ on a bank account once one of them dies. The others were Alberto Rojas (1944-2016), Pedro Weber (1933-2016), Alfonso Zayas (1941-2021), Benito Castro (1946-2023), Rafael Inclán (1941-) and Alejandro Suárez (1941-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
