US Masters Swimming record holder, WWII B-25 pilot Russ Witte, still marked living on Wikipedia (minor name, but he's had a Wiki page since 2013), died off-radar in 2016 at 99.

 

There's a small group of people born in the 1910s still marked "living" on Wikipedia despite the fact that they probably died more than a decade ago. The most notable of those are probably Wesley P. Dahlberg, Steve Lu and Jiro Tanaka. Steve Lu has two home pages, the other page with contact info of him or a relative/someone who knew him, but I can't find any pictures of him taken after the 1990s. Jiro Tanaka was probably alive in 2008.

I've updated the page for Russ Witte. If you can find anything for the other three, let me know. 

I agree in regards to Jiro Tanaka. Just like Makoto Ogawa (wiki), likely deceased but not made public.

I disagree with Steve Lu and Wesley P. Dahlberg.

Dahlberg is still listed as living and resident in California (aged 105) according to MyLife and searchpeoplefree. Maybe @Gisooo can check Accurint?

Steve Lu was definitely still alive in 2015, and his website was renewed as recently as 2022, with a contact form for him still in use on there.

Sister Paula Nielsen
Self-styled "trans-televangelist", a regular guest on the Clive James Show in the 1980s
Turning 83. Suffered a big stroke several years ago, seldom seen since.

That's 15. I'll do another 15 tonight. Anything to prevent this turning into another thread about Trump!

From Ideas & Possibilities 2021:

 

Sister Paula Nielsen seems to have died in June 2022 according to facebook posts, and her death was atleast according to Deathlist Forums' search function never mentioned here. Link. DDP pick atleast in 2021.

 

Lots of "how still alive" names in those three posts, many of who were already perennially ill in 2020. Atleast Hissing Sid, Winnie Ewing, Katherine Jackson and Russ Tamblyn.

That's very sad. I had a lot of time for Sister Paula, quite the character!

Here's her famous BBC appearance with Clive James that made her a global name:

The new spring Sag mag is out and I see a Julian Christopher on there.

 

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0160589/  here is the actors imdb page

 

do you think it's the same one? Did he pass without any news?

Surely that IMDB is a case of combining two actors with the same name's careers? Unless this guy played John Wilkes Booth:

 

 

Ridiculous. Doesn't even have a moustache.

Very strange.

I would doubt it though. Christopher has a 2023 credit for a short. His death would have been mentioned somewhere surely. I'm guessing a different actor with the same name.

Could it be that Steve Woodmore, formerly world's fastest english speaker, has died this month:

 

The one who sold stuff under the name "astrobatts" also has/had lymphoma and lives/lived in the same town:

https://www.ebay.ie/usr/woodybuying?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Here is the gazette notice formally verifying Woodmore's death.

As mentioned before though, his Facebook page was turned into a memorial.

It appears to be the same actor. His IMDB entry has now been updated to indicate he died February 26th of this year.

Yes but then IMDb are fucking idiots and accept the most minimal “evidence” in order to process changes.

[Spade_Cooley 9,001]

Also, the short film listed in that IMDB profile is on YouTube. It only has two actors in it - Julian Christopher and Mona Trujillo.

 

 

 

I know black don't crack, but this is not an 81-year-old man. IMDB have fucked up.

No way, I checked her record, 100 and living in Texas. Only if she died last or this month but I doubt it!

The Japanese Wiki page for Jiro Tanaka has been updated to include a death date. Supposedly died on 28th September 2017 (aged 100).

Unsourced but probably true.

There are a lot of countries that have these types of awards, however all of the Filipino recipients are notable enough to have a Wiki page. Only 7 out of the 16 are alive, but if you need any weavers on your teams...

Uwang Ahadas, national living treasure of the Philippines, died in October at 77. Further confirmation from this article that has him marked as "late"
