That's a different Ramesh Mehta. This one. It looks like a bot website that has mixed the two of them up.

 

To be honest, I found this, it the same year but another date of death, maybe the two Ramesh passed in the same month. Plus there is the playwright photo at the end

Edith Renfrow Smith (14 Jul 1914) US college alumni

 

Edith Renfrow Smith just turned 109. From this article it seems she has spent weeks in hospital in May and also caught COVID there. Of course she is absolutely fine now.

This very scanned letter is on StarTiger and is time/date stamped March 9, 2021.

So you didn't just receive it. Liar, liar. Pants on fire.

Anyway, she's dead. I wouldn't have even added her to the list in the first place but you told me she was still alive so I took your word for it.

Liliana Gerace (born 1921) Italian actress

Not a lot of notable/"notable" 1918 names left. There being a small amount of 1916 notables was mentioned on the last page but I was suprised by how few 1918 names there are:

 

Only 12 with English wiki pages, 8 of them on the "living centenarians" list:

 

Silvana Lattmann (8 Nov 1918) Swiss writer

Dead

[arghton 6,124]

Suprisingly just the first death from my list, and it's been five months. That's a long time for 10+ 105-year-olds.

Miye Ota is still alive, living in Santa Barbara, California!

Miye Ota actually made an appearance on this video two months ago:

0:53 onwards. Apparently she had a bad fall and a spinal fracture years ago and has been in 24/7 care for atleast three or four years ago now according to an old gofundme.

Happy belated 100th birthday to aerospace engineer Wang Xiji! 

 

Widely celebrated, but could not find any photo of him on his birthday, which may be not a good sign.

Chinese aerospace engineer Wang Xiji, who designed China's first sounding rocket, first space launch vehicle and first recoverable satellites, visited on his 102nd birthday...

James Clayton Flowers (25 Dec 1915) Tuskegee airman. Very ill for years apparently.

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:

 

Rustom Sorabji "Rusi" Cooper (15th of December 1922-) 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.

Rusi Cooper reportedly dead: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/rusi-cooper-oldest-first-class-cricketer-in-the-world-100-passes-away/articleshow/102271200.cms?from=mdr

To be fair why I had a feeling she had times in wheelchair, for a 102 years old looks normal

We didn’t see her standing still for quite a Time now if I remember well but recently she looked quite thinner than she used to, wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up dying in late 2023 or early 2024 for example
