Decay predictions/analyses:
Source   Prediction made    Predicted decay at      Latitude Longitude
               UTC                UTC                  deg      deg
SpaceCom   May 10 08:23     May 10 19:13 +-7h        15.6 S    23.0 E
SatEvo     May 10 20:10     May 10 17:44 +-40m       26.6 S    46.2 E

Final elset:
Cosmos 1116 r    3.8  2.6  0.0  5.1 v  7.4       147 x 136 km
1 11458U 79067B   01130.64384823  .14360798 -86253-6  18745-3 0  7839
2 11458  81.1211 356.5092 0008762 218.1062 142.2891 16.49150217201408

Note: I waited for one or other of SpaceCom's final two notices, but 
neither has appeared. The final elset shows it running less than 7 sec 
late against the prediction I had posted on the 9th. I show it decaying 
southbound over Madagascar on the following orbit.
