No one has reported Salvador Villalba's death but we have always assumed that he's dead though. So is his date of death 21 December 2021 then?

Here's a report that confirmed Ramon Mayeregger of 1958 Paraguay is dead. No date of death given. There are conflicting sources if he was born in 1934 or 1937 but looks more like 1934 if he debuted in 1950.

Link doesn't work. It just goes to the home page of a "remove paywall" type site.

Federico Sacchi, who played 1962 WC with Argentina, has died aged 87.

He played Argentina’s whole three games as they were knocked out in the group stage.

92 years old, according to the obituary.

Well, his wiki (both english and turkish) says 88, so who knows…

Canadianpaul mentioned that many early Turkish birth records don't exist as most muslims don't really care about birthdays as much as Westerners. It's fair to say that many elderly muslims don't actually know their real birthdays and they just pick a random date to put on papers.

Crossposting for Etepe Kakoko (Wiki) of the 1974 Zaire squad. Went missing in September

He was announced dead 2 times before : in January 2022 and in May.

I guess he must be in bad health. Plus dementia often makes people wander off.
