Is psychiatrist Robert R. Holt really still alive? 

 

I can't value his importance in his field and has not been heard about since his 100th birthday, unless I'm wrong.

Robert R. Holt (wiki) dead at 106 according to his son.

Awaiting an obit.

[Ulitzer95 12,596]

American artist Sylvia Fein (wiki) dead at 104 according to this San Francisco art page on FB.

Post is from April 3rd. An unsourced edit to her Wiki page suggests she died on April 1st.

[drol 11,945]

Good luck with that and Holt's obits.

Never give up hope young drol.

I think I might have been the first person on Deathlist to - ahem - finger her for future use, that was ages - like over a decade - ago when she turned up in a documentary, discussed surviving the holocaust and indicated she was terminally ill. 

 

There's more life and joy in that face than in 77-year-old Donald Trump's mugshot

I'm so glad the World Wide Web did not exist when I was growing up. At least all of the pointless unfinished lists I made stayed in my notebook.

I'll confess, I have a few lists like that lying around. 

I'm left-handed though.

She's been around for a while since then to be terminally ill!

Dipping into this serious book on ufology this morning by way of researching summat, thought to put the dates of birth and death of Sturrock into what I'm writing only to discover he's still around and turned 100 last month:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A._Sturrock

 

Definitely the chance of an obit somewhere, esp.the kind that'd count in the more permissive pools

Super-centenarian Vincent Dransfield in suspiciously good health at 110:

Looks like has at least (!) a couple of years left.

 

Edit: Maybe this belongs in World's Oldest.....

Suspicious? If the man told me he was 90 I'd believe it. The fact that he's 110 and somehow still driving independently, let alone do everything else the article says, is astounding. That he somehow managed also not have any issues with anesthetic at 110 definitely tells me that he's in pretty damn good shape... That poor anesthesiologist though.

 

For some reason he hates jogging and most other forms of exercise, and has a diet that is probably more congruent with a man in a midlife crisis than a man who was born during World War I. Just... How?

Classic example of someone who wouldn’t have a Wiki page had they not reached 100.

Norman Spencer, mentioned here a few times, implicitly reached 2024, since he isn't on Q4 of the 2023 index.

The longevity community seem to have a closer tab on him now. I’d expect them to know of his death within a week or two.

Are we to assume the public GRO index will never be updated now.

As far as I know, nobody actually has any contact (certainly nobody on OldestinBritain does, because I'm one of that group). All the posts about him on fora are simply operating under the assumption that he hasn't died. It's entirely possible that he'll die off the radar and only be discovered in the index.

I'll email them and ask. When I last did so in 2021 they were really passive about it and like most other businesses with lazy ass employees used the pandemic as an excuse for a "backlog". Will be amusing to see what their excuse is now.
