Count Ingolf of Rosenborg (mentioned twice on this forum before, including page 1 of this thread) might make a good pool pick for next year, but he also might have a bit of future immortal potential in him. 84 next year, he has suffered from COPD for atleast 14 years, heart problems, "close to dying" in 2010, serious pneumonia in 2020 and also ill in 2021. If you look at any picture of him from the last decade he looks very discolored and clearly unwell.

Edit: Also underwent surgery for lung cancer in 2017.

Its sending shockwaves through Danish politics.

 

My social studies lessons are going to be interesting next week since we just talked about the party.

Danish porn actress Anne Magle died in 2014 from bone marrow cancer according to this forum post. Tried searching for similar names but no other Anne Maglegaard appears in Danish directories. This is most likely her obit but can't be 100% sure when her imdb bio is completely blank.

Count Ingolf missed some event last month, but apparently it was "nothing serious".

 

Seems he has the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee/Kenneth Cope/Yael Dayan/Jake the Snake version of COPD where instead of killing you, it slowly makes you indestructible.

Jens Werner, professional dancer and mostly known for a being one of the original judges from the Danish version of Dancing with the Stars, dead at age 59 due to cancer.

 

He told his followers on social media a few months ago that he was feeling better and hoped to be cured - but sadly succumbed to cancer.
