Possible death
The article has been edited to reflect his death. So far I've found tweets supporting this, but not from immediate family or officials. If it is true, there should be some reliable source soon. Until then, let's leave it as it is. —Guanaco 05:37, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Misleading statement about being sober and quitting drugs
Denis Johnson never stopped using drugs and drinking and sadly he died from liver cancer as this is what will happen. He wrote articles in the 2000s and 2010s about how he still drank alcohol, used hard drugs such as opiates, and other drugs. This needs to be changed in the article. 100.34.234.175 (talk) 10:09, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
