Thanga Darlong hospitalised and improving.

 

103-year old wants to die at home, they forcibly hospitalise him possibly only to make him die far from home. Indian mindset.

Thanga Darlong dead at 103.

Good luck with an obit. Seems the kind of personality who just gets blatantly ignored.

 @YoungWillz, he was never going to get one until drol wrote this. Someone at NYT definitely ghosts this forum!

Less mentioned people with Wiki articles that are going to be 100 next year if still alive:

 

Valérie André (21 April 1922-) First female member of the French military to become a General Officer, one of the eight women to hold the Legion of Honour Grand Cross and one of the two living ones out of these eight with Simone Rozès (1920-)

Rolands Kalniņš (9 May 1922-) Latvian film director.

J. C. P. Williams (16 November 1922? or possibly 1930/early 1930s-) New Zealand cardiologist. Discovered the Williams syndrome in 1961, disappeared off the face of the earth in the late 70s or early 80s possibly due to Janet Frame refusing to marry him. The only proof of him possibly living after disappearing is that he reportedly contacted author Michael King (1945-2004) in 2000 asking King to not discuss him in Janet Frame's biography.

Bhisadej Rajani (20 January 1922-) Thai royal, good friend of the late King Bhumibol. Also has had some royal duties.

Guy Stern (14 January 1922-) German scholar, interrogated German POWs during WWII.

P. Gopinathan Nair (7 July 1922-) Indian social worker, independence activist and chairman of the Gandhi National Memorial trust.

Ichiro Abe (12 November 1922-27 February 2022) One of the living three Kodokan 10th dan, the two others both being 95.

Guy Stern dead aged 101. A pick in some of the pools.

Why. I thought the 100 club was for deaths over 100 of people notable enough to have an English Wikipedia.

Everybody is turning on your posts, not on you.

 

If you either improve posting quality or simply post less things will be better.

He doesn't have an English wiki page but with Josip Manolic there's Ivan Mišković Brk, Yugoslav spy boss, Tito aide and good friend of Manolic who's also 104 next year. Also Schild has been on oxygen for atleast eight years now. 

 

Others who I'd say are quite "overdue":

1. Marianne, Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn: 105 next year, hospitalised with covid in 2021 or 2022 and completely bedbound since.

2. Addold Mossin: 105 next year, decrepit 7 years ago.

3. Arnold Yarrow: 104 next year, I recall a forum user saying he was very ill and must've been 2 years since that

4. Mani Kumar Chetri: 104 next year, rumored dead this year, very frail for years.

4. Zeynep Korkmaz: 103 next year, decrepit in 2021, on oxygen in August.

5. Betty Reid Soskin: 103 next year, suffered a massive stroke in 2019 that she wasn't expected to recover from

6. William Leuchtenburg: 102 next year and frail, possibly demented on his 100th.

7. Phan Wannamethee: 101 next year, wheelchairbound and very frail

Of course there's also Vic Seixas, Yuriko Mikasa etc.
