You can see her ribcage that is just dreadful for shit like this to happen to someone so young. Her neck looks normal which suggests anorexia. Hopefully she'll get better.

Her complexion and tones are also far lighter in the newer pictures. I would have to agree with Shaun on this one.

Sufe in 2013.                                                                                      Sufe in 2014

 

 

 

 

       

2015                                                                                                    2016

 

2017

 

She definitely has that Robin Gibb /Henry Cecil look that makes you gasp and think oh shit.

Just as a comparison. This was her before she became very frail.

The difference is striking but as soon as I saw the photo first posted not knowing exactly who she was my first though was "shit".When I googled her and found she was only 31 my jaw hit the ground.

Bob Newhart

Carol Channing

Tom Brokaw

Beverly Cleary

Dick Van Dyke

Angela Lansbury

Val Kilmer

Nannette Fabray

Gavin Macleod

John Astin

Little Richard

Louis Zorich

Gene Shalit

Peter Bonerz

Mel Brooks

Charles Grodin

James Earl Jones

John Warner

Hugh Downs

Manuel Noriega

Nichelle Nichols

Charlie Sheen

Henry Kissinger

Rodney Alcala

David Attenborough

Loretta Lynn

Violet Brown

Just some ideas.

[Joey Russ 7,118]

Just so you know, Violet Brown will never make the list, as the oldest person in the world is not famous enough (yes they're famous, but not notable elsewhere ). Many of your picks are either too young or way too healthy. That said, I do think Manuel Noriega, David Attenborough, and Loretta Lynn should be on the 2018 list.

[Szabaka 87]

Henry Kissinger is healthy, he just met with Trump a couple weeks ago. 

[LilyForrester 81]

I'm sort of new to this but just off the top of my head-

 

Steven Hillenburg- Spongebob creator.

Diagnosed with ALS.

 

DEAD: Stefan Karl Steffenson- Lazytown actor.

Easy hit if he survives this year.

 

DEAD: Manuel Noriega- Former Panama Leader 

I'm hoping we can get a dictator kill streak going, Castro in 2016, Mugabe in 2017 and maybe Noriega in 2018.

 

Both of the Bushes- Former U.S President and First Lady.

Provided they survive 2018.

 

The Queen and Prince Philip-

You can never know when they'll go imo.

 

Nicolas Maduro- Venezuela President.

If these riots continue and he doesn't resign he'll either be assassinated or taken out in a coup.

 

Kim Jong Un- North Korean Dictator.

Again, providing he survives this year. If something kicks off in the Korean Peninsula (which is looking likely) I don't see him lasting, particularly as China turns it's back on him. A coup is likely here methinks.

 

George RR Martin- Game of Thrones author.

He's obese and old and seems unhealthy, he's a possibility.

 

Emperor Akihito- Japanese Emperor.

He's abdicating at the end of this year as far as I'm aware due to health and age reasons so he could be an early 2018 hit.

 

David Attenborough- National Treasure.

He's over 90 but seems to be in amazing health. He should be considered though I doubt he'll actually die next year (though I thought the same about Christopher Lee in 2015).

 

Noam Chomsky-

He seems senile in recent interviews to me and doesn't look well.

 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg- Supreme Court Justice.

She's 84 and looks very weary in recent pictures. She'll never resign with Trump in office though so she'll likely die on the bench unless she lasts until 2020 and Trump is beaten.

 

Gay Byrne- TV Presenter.

He says his cancer has receded but it can come back at any time.

 

I also agree with a previous commenter that a Monty Python cast member is long overdue, don't think it'll be Michael Palin or Terry Gilliam though. Eric Idle, John Cleese and Terry Jones are possible though.

 

EDIT (Will regularly update for my 2018 list): TotalBiscuit would be a great pick as well, Jackie Stallone, Mel Brooks, Jacques Chriac, Charles Manson, Oliva-Newton John, Ron Paul, Bob Dole, Walter Mondale, Liam Cosgrave, Sydney Poitier, Yoko Ono, Stephen Sondheim, Dame Maggie Smith, Ross Perot, John McCain, Arethra Franklin.

That, and he also got a brain tumor and was in critical condition last time we had an update for him.

Thanks, I was pretty sure he did though I forgot whether it was him or Mugabe.

Looks like you've just killed him.

 

I hope you're proud.

Well then, I'm moderately impressed at myself. 3 hours after I posted that he dies. 6/50 for me!

[Szabaka 87]

While it is true the Val Kilmer has a tumor (and being a Christian Scientist I presume avoids modern medicine) he is being treated at UCLA.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Kilmer

 

He also is apparently scheduled to be in Top Gun 2 (not yet confirmed) which is releasing in 2020.   If he really is at risk, the film would not likely bank big $$ in his survival. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/25/entertainment/val-kilmer-top-gun-2/

Now, just wait for the new William Frankland thread! He's 105, "must be Deathlistable or something"...

[Hpresti 14]

Jeff Cook has Parkinson's, could be a potential candidate. But I guess Michael J. Fox has had Parkinson's for a while.

I stayed mum during the previous "can there be a facepalm emoticon" convo since I want to be stringent with adding new ones, but given this one is clearly going to see plenty of usage regardless...

Long-time president of Angola, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, receiving cancer treatment in Spain:

He actually agreed to cede power as well.

My guess would either pancreatic or advanced bowel cancer.

 

If you look at her Instagram pics you might lean towards thinking it was drugs , she looks like a drugie in those pics. She has that Whitney Houston look about her . But when you google her name and illness nothing comes up in google search. But you type her name then 'I' it suggests illness . So looks like we're not the only ones thinking she looks ill and have been googling it. I'd lean towards hardcore drug problem though.

And I thought I was bad at making brand new threads that are useless (don't regret Allman though)...
