Other non-French octa- and nonagenarians declared prematurely dead were Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; former US president Jimmy Carter; Cuban leader Raúl Castro; Yoko Ono; former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and the actors Clint Eastwood and Sophia Loren.
Among French nationals, the victims included Bernadette Chirac, wife of the late president Jacques; the former Socialist prime minister Lionel Jospin, the actors Jean-Louis Trintignant, Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo, the director Roman Polanski and the fashion designer Pierre Cardin.
