Iris Apfel seems wheelchair bound now

 

Is she actually wheelchair "bound", or is she just using one for convenience?  Looks like a market or a festival, and at 102 not many people would want to be doing a lot of walking round.

Alice K. Ladas, author of the best-selling 1982 book 'The G Spot: And Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality', has died. She was 102. Ladas died July 29th, her death was being reported on August 9th.

I think the only other "notables" with foreign wikis are:

 

Yan Renmei - ROC socialite. Juliana Young Koo who lived to 111 was her aunt.

 

Constantin Năstase - Romanian Major General and WWII vet. (He was promoted from Brig. Gen last year)

 

 

I remember this was discussed some time ago when Carmen Herrera died. Back then there was Shitu, Clayton Flowers, Crook, Frances Hesselbein, Masao Horie and Jozef Caban. As mentioned there's only Shitu and Clayton Flowers left of them now. I think these four are the last even somewhat notable people born in 1915 with Ma fucking Shitu being much more famous as the other three combined.

Still alive.

It's a case of homonymy.

Segre's carer also said that "he is fine and returned yesterday from the mountain."

In September he will be 105.

 

Bruno Segre, the dead one, is a journalist and essayist born in 1930.

More on Karthyayani Amma's condition: Apparently she's somewhat recently suffered a stroke and she's now completely bedbound and partially paralysed.

 

Time for a new list of Indian centenarians/notable centenarian claimants, this time a smaller and "frailer" list than the one I posted in October 2021:

 

Up to 1919

Swami Sivananda (1896, probably ca. 1925-1935 - ) Yoga teacher, once in a while hospitalised for "checkups". No matter how old he is, he isn't immune to aging and has been getting frailer.

Saalumarada Thimmakka (1910/1911/1913/1919/likely ca. 1928 -) Environmentalist. Very frail with a health history but now attending events nearly every week. Impressive even though she's much younger than she claims to be. 

Fauja Singh (1st of April 1911/likely ca. 1928 -) Runner. Frail and skeletal for multiple years.

Kewal Krishan (27th of July/4th of August 1913 - 1st of April 2023) member of the drafting committee of the Constituent Assembly of India. Hospitalised for surgery in 2019, hasn't apparently left his house nearly at all during the pandemic. Can't find much recent news.

Pappammal ("1914", likely later -) Organic farmer, frailish. Probably born 20 years later. Wheelchairbound.

1920-1921

Mollie Lentaigne (6th of May 1920 -) Medical artist, British but born in India so counts half

Mani Kumar Chetri (23rd of May 1920 -) Cardiologist. Bed/wheelchairbound with a blanket covering his legs in one recent image and has declined a lot since his 100th.

Thanga Darlong (20th of July 1920 -) Folk music artist. Decrepit and suffering from some kind of neck injury last year.

C. R. Rao (10th of September 1920 - 23rd of August 2023) Mathematician, statistician. Unable to hold a knife properly and very frail on his 100th, doesn't make appearances anymore as far as I know.

Jang Bahadur Singh (10th December of 1920 -) Bhojpuri folk singer/wrestler. Has a long wikipedia page but would his death make local news? Name for search purposes जंगबहादुर सिंह.

Mangala Kanti Roy (1920? -) West Bengal folk musician and 2023 Padma Shri recipient. Very likely fraudster.

N. Sankaraiah (15th of July 1921-) Politician, former Tamil Nabu Legislative Assembly member. Very thin with swollen feet, but just released a new book and still active in politics.

1922

Karthyayani Amma (1922 -) Woman who passed literacy exam at 96. Suffered a paralysing stroke after her claimed 100th, bedbound and very frail.

P. Sabanayagam (7th of June 1922 - 22nd of June 2023) Politician. Diabetes for half a decade and now wheelchairbound, suffering from complications.

Rustom Sorabji "Rusi" Cooper (15th of December 1922 - 31st of July 2023) First-class cricketer, longest-lived first-class player in the history of Middlesex County Cricket Club. Said to be very ill.

I won't add the 1923 names (atleast yet), as far as I know none of them have reached 100. All of them seem to be May-December births. There's also a politician called Shankar Dev, born 1922 marked living on wikipedia, but I doubt he's alive.

Updated.

 

There's 5 left from 1920, but I think Mangala Kanti Roy is another age fraud and Jang Bahadur Singh might die off-radar. Thanga Darlong has been in declining health for more than two years and was unable to attend an event due to illness earlier this month.

I don't think he will necessarily die off-radar but he might. He wasn't famous before those August 2022 articles and I can't find anything on him since. He was 101 at the time but they added a year to his age.
