"Angela Maria Castro Ruz, older sister of Fidel and Raul Castro has died in Havana at the age of 88 years"

How ironic

Castro doesn't even believe he'll live another year, given his previous comment about not expecting to outlive Obama's first term.

I'd say that he'll be dead within 1-5 years.

I think i read somewhere that people who live into their late 80s have more often than not (statistically speaking anyway ) the same odds of dying rather than rising as they get older. The odds of dying don't rise like they do when we get into their 70s and early 80s.

wish i could find the article very interesting read, So im kind of basing it on that really.

Surely the odds of dying are 100% whatever your age? Hope you find the article!

My sources tell me that Fidel Castro is gravely ill and has been confined to bed for the past several weeks. There could be good news for deathlist any day now!

Looked like he was well enough to meet the pope the other day. Unless you're suggesting he was sitting up in bed

odds are listed by age and gender...

So if you were a real saddo (and surely this is the kind of site where saddos like me congregate!), if you applied the percentage likelihood of dying in a year against the age and gender of each of the Death List 50 we could calculate whether the Death List Committee have managed to outperform a monkey sticking pins in a list of famous people.

This doesn't seem to belong on the Castro thread but i don't know how to reply to one thread and move it to another (and if i did I wouldn't know which thread I should move it to).

Perhaps Mr Lee is now working as castro's double but hopefully only on a short-term contract

I think Prince Philip would get more global coverage than Fidel.

I left him out of the game I run because of verification issues - maybe that was a mistake.

You mean fidel might die and cuba will keep it secret ? maybe for a couple of days , north korea is more secretive I think and they kept kim jong il's death a secret for about a day and a half . Who knows though I remember a couple of years ago fidel wasn't seen for months and people thought he was dead.

[Toast]

I still think they kept Prince Rainier on ice for a few days because of the Pope dying.
