He lived to 111 years and 1 day - all the 1s! (Actually not really, because it was 111 years, 0 months and 1 day - should have waited another month to die!)

All these old fuckers be dying like mad while my team has only one hit. Burn in hell Zhou Yougang and in your next life when you reach a hundred think of the deathlisters. Inconsiderate prick.

I wouldn't be surprised if he died within days. They often seem to go at one time for some weird reason and he's only a few months younger than Zhou was

Twitter abuzz with death reports of "Professor" Irwin Corey, would imagine something more substantial will appear soon enough.

Wiki says he's dead, but no references to any proof.

Also Three Room Press' FB page says the same, but again, nothing from any news source of any kind.
