Perhaps 1,425 Posted December 24, 2022 Apparently there’s a lot of movement some stadium (I don’t know football so please excuse my ignorance) because they’ve pitched something in the centre of the pitch. There’s also a video that’s allegedly from inside the tent which confirms it’s Pelé related: https://twitter.com/lucasfelix/status/1606422356200677376?s=20&t=1TSSEK9wjnzzuFcAX6ew0A So his death has either been leaked and they’re preparing a tribute or it’s just some random spectacle to show respect for him.

Summer in Transylvania 2,193 Posted December 24, 2022 According to Twitter, the Brazilian media have gathered outside the Albert Einstein Hospital, where Pelé has been receiving palliative care. Will post a link when I find one. Difficult to imagine that it isn't grim news by this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LWCZ 193 Posted December 24, 2022 I'm afraid that we aren't talking days, we're talking hours. Heard that the hospital that Pelé stays (or stayed?) at didn't publish any health update today, which, along the preparations at the Vila Belmiro, led many to think he's a goner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracy 2,449 Posted December 24, 2022 Well, is a "Betty White" merely dying on New Year's Eve, or does it need some sort of shock factor? I don't think anyone would be surprised at this point if he did die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
