Talk:Craig Smith (musician)

Date of death ?
I can't find any obituary or notice of death other than this which says he died in 2010. --Racklever (talk) 06:49, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Based on the Case Number, that's almost definitely a typo. I was the one who created this article, and the information about the date of Craig's death was relayed to me by someone who is actually working with the City to try to locate next of kin - Craig's body is currently at the morgue, unclaimed :(

Unfortunately, since it came from a person I can't cite it on Wikipedia. I'm sincerely hoping he hasn't been in the morgue nearly 3 years. Ushi5 (talk) 01:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Me again :) I spoke with someone in the Coroner's office - the date of 2010 is indeed a typo and the correct year is 2012. There is a programming bug on their end that causes all 2011 or 2012 deaths to show as 2010 and they cannot fix it at the moment (long story!).

So that will have to remain un-cited for now since I can't cite conversations :) Just wanted to let you know. PS See the end of the article for another update I learned in the same conversation. Ushi5 (talk) 22:22, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Based on the recent book by Mike Stax,, p. 215: "Eight weeks later, on October 11th, 2012, Mike Medina hits me with a bombshell ... "I found that Craig is deceased. He died on March 16th, 2012. He's listed as an unclaimed person with the L.A. County coroner's office." BenAbrahamse (talk) 17:05, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
