According to wiki Daniel Williams Grenadian governor-general (1996-2008) died at age of 88.

 

I have to be honest and for a split second my heart skipped a beat thinking it was William Daniels.

According to some online obits Ifigenia Martinez Hernandez was born in 1925, which would make her 99 when electes to the presidency of the chamber of deputies. That must be some kind of world record.

Death notice for Richard Hickmet, former Tory MP for Glanford and Scunthorpe (1983-87): https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/hickmet-notices_58949


Richard Hickmet gets a full Telegraph obit.

Every one of the 20 former UK MPs who have died in 2024 have received a Telegraph obituary this year. I'd like to see more MPs being selected in next year's DDP seeing as they're now pretty much a dead cert for a QO.

Jamal Yunos, scandal-ridden Malaysian politician is ... probably ... not dead.

But he is supposedly fighting a return of lung cancer, as we already know, and also lost a couple of court cases this year.

He has to pay damages in a defamation case, which he didn't do, so they are seizing his assets now, in his house.

This happened yesterday, so I hoped to find some health news, but as far as I can tell, he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth:

“When they arrived, the main gate appeared to be slightly open. There was no one at the guard station and after ringing the bell to the house several times, there was no answer.

“The bailiff called out and there was no reply, and they waited for 15 minutes. After failing to execute the writ, the bailiff suggested the next step is to apply for a forced entry warrant, and they left the premises slightly before 11am,” he said.

Reputable sources reporting. Not picked up by the BBC or Sky yet but consider it true.
