TBF centenarians are always dying, it's really the fact that a lot of the recent departees (Douglas, Perez de Cuellar, Frankland, Katherine Johnson, Baby Peggy, etc) are forum heavyweights which makes this recent exodus feel far bigger.

I think she is playing the "have the highest number of rubbish authomatically-generated death notices and unofficial Twitter accounts mention ever" game. Still, only a matter of time until she gets a serious obituary.
