livingbygrace 326 Posted January 5 The man is in his 90s. Just because he spoke at a public event does not mean at any moment he couldn't have a heart attack, or even just pass away in his sleep any given day or night. Could he have more years in him? Sure but when a person reaches into their 90s I would never bet the farm on the person as a guarantee they will see another sunrise let alone a whole year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was still walking and voting on the Senate floor until the day before her death. It was far from a foregone conclusion that she was about to die. Not a Jimmy Carter situation at all, though she had some health issues earlier in the year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are of course correct that he could die of a sudden heart attack but literally every human could suffer the same fate at any time. My opinion from watching the video of his speech is that he does not appear frail or sickly meaning that all things being equal I doubt he will die soon. Sure he could bang his head and die like Bob Saget but compared to other people of his age he looks healthy and together. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure, sometimes rumors end up becoming true after a while, I think he's alive at this moment but I still have a feeling that at any moment I'll look at the forum and see this thread that says hot with the tag "dead" and another thread that also says hot called "the 6th death of 2024" By the way, how do you delete messages?

Bobytomi 109 Posted October 1 He received Vietnamese President To Lam last Friday, he looks a little fragile in other photos I found, and it is rumored that he has suffered deterioration in health and that he lost several allies during September. In my opinion he should stay on the list for next year. https://www.plenglish.com/news/2024/09/27/raul-castro-received-vietnamese-president-to-lam/ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
