I think is not easy to guess, as anyone also can die in 2025. It doesn't mean old or sick currently will likely go first.
Same like in football matches it doesn't mean lower odds means higher probability of winning.

Former US president Bill Clinton hospitalised with fever​

WASHINGTON: Bill Clinton, the former United States president who has faced a series of health issues over the years, was admitted to hospital on Monday (Dec 23) in Washington after developing a fever, his office said.

"President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever," the 78-year-old's deputy chief of staff Angel Urena said on social media platform X, adding Clinton "remains in good spirits".

Clinton was previously hospitalised for five nights in October 2021 due to a blood infection.

In 2004, at age 58, he underwent a quadruple bypass operation after doctors found signs of extensive heart disease. He had stents implanted in his coronary artery six years later.

The health scare motivated him to make lifestyle changes, including adopting a vegetarian diet, and he has since spoken publicly about his efforts.

Clinton's health last made headlines in November 2022 when he tested positive for COVID-19. He said at the time that his symptoms were "mild" and he was "grateful to be vaccinated and boosted".

Clinton, who led the US for two presidential terms from 1993 to 2001, is the second-youngest living US president, after 63-year-old Barack Obama.

He was born mere months after fellow former US president George W. Bush and President-elect Donald Trump.

Though his prosperous time in office was marred by scandals, he has enjoyed a second life in the two decades after his presidency, which has seen him venture into numerous diplomatic and humanitarian causes.

Tributes pour in for late actor Kim​

An outpouring of condolences flooded online forums and social media on Monday following the death of actor Kim Sae-ron, who died at the age of 25 the previous day.

Fellow actors and actresses shared messages and photos in remembrance of the late actress and her career.

Kim Min-che, who co-starred with the actress in the 2018 action-thriller "The Villagers," shared a still from the film in which she played the actress's mother.

"I was so happy to be in the film with you as your mother. Rest in peace," she wrote.

Seo Ye-ji, Seo Ha-jun and Kim Ok-vin all posted a photo of a chrysanthemum, paying tribute to Kim.

Yel, a former member of the girl group Fiesta also paid tribute on Instagram on Sunday, saying, "It is going to be a long night."

Singer-turned-actress Yoo A-ra uploaded a photo she took with Kim, writing, "Sorry and thank you. I will remember your brilliance and pray for you."

Amid the tributes, some also reflected on the harsh public scrutiny Kim endured following her 2022 DUI incident.

In an online statement, her fans emphasized the relentless criticism she faced.

"Kim Sae-ron acknowledged and regretted her past mistakes and tried to rebuild her life, but the level of criticism and cold judgement against her went beyond human limits," they said.

Singer Migyo condemned the toxic online culture surrounding public figures.

"Malicious commenters only stop when someone dies," she wrote on her Instagram, adding, "I don't think they even realize they are spreading hate." She also criticized media for publishing sensationalized stories.

On Sunday, "The Man From Nowhere" star Kim was found dead at her home.

Once a promising young actress, she gained international recognition when she became the youngest Korean actor to be invited to the Cannes Film Festival for "A Brand New Life (2009)."

But her career took a significant hit following a DUI incident in May 2022.

She had been cast in Netflix's Korean original "Bloodhounds," but most of her scenes were removed. She also withdrew from an SBS drama. In April last year, she attempted a return to acting through a play, but withdrew over health issues amid continued controversy. (Yonhap)
