I am not sure that these references represent conclusive evidence that this person is still alive, but I'll give this the benefit of the doubt at present. Ted Short and Michael Foot were both senior politicians, but Wilson's death might slip under the radar without being widely publicised. I have been slightly surprised at 2 people whose death this year received less publicity than I would have expected, John Hughes (English politician) and Pat Keysell.
