hmm, so either someone dead, someone currently with all body functions disabled (maybe extreme hibernation or special medical treatment) or someone from the future ... that could be tough.

Did he die before 1st Jan, 1900?

Just a note: It's still possible that he was involved in politics but he was not primarily known for politics.

Right, I'm using "primarily" to avoid the "did he compose three things as a teenager and then never do it again, but technically he was a composer" issue.
