 * The article correctly states that he was found dead (not "died") on October 12. Apparently he had been dead for a few days, but the exact time of death was indeterminable.  (I encountered a similar situation for my brother's death.)  No doubt, the Coroner picked some specific date for the official "time of death", but during previous discussion here several editors were unhappy with substituting an arbitrary date, thus the factual wording that was used in the article.  —  DAGwyn (talk) 22:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
