Some pictures? Isn't there a single press release picture of this man? Or of the gay porn actor? Or piano man? Or anything to do with this man.

Re: cleanup template
This is the second one that has been placed on this article. Why? What needs cleaning up? Would people please be specific rather than tagging and running. Exploding Boy 23:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It is not clear whether the Staufen actually is Georges Lecuit? The question was raised (or at least was in the article) but it remains unclear whether enyone took theese claims to be true. Comment aanyone? Shukalo83

I think it's clear. A gay porn actor in England claimed that Staufen was Lecuit, and provided a photo of Lecuit which closely resembled Staufen (apart from the difference in hairstyle). It was later discovered that the real Georges Lecuit, a French man and not a porn actor, had had his passport stolen some time before. In other words, it is presumed that Staufen stole or acquired Lecuit's stolen passport, and then used his identity while working as a porn actor in England. Exploding Boy 02:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * that is not clear at all in the article. maybe i'm just slow. Addps4cat 03:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

The Piano Man
Sorry, I'm not able to provide references (which is why I wrote on this page rather than just change the main page, but later reports in British newspapers noted that the so-called Piano Man had absolutely no ability to play the piano whatsoever. I don't know why there would have been so much confusion over this; perhaps hospital staff and journalists thought it would be more romantic for the man to 'be' an expert pianist.


 * Well, I don't know what that has to do with this particular article, but if you read the Piano Man article you'll discover that those claims are disputed by the hospital staff. Exploding Boy 16:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Something new
Found this in the Ottawa Citizen: http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/story.html?id=5e97847d-633d-46a5-ab3a-b3424e75711d&k=57385 I'd modify the article, but I just can't find a title for the article subsection. Goodnight everyone, hopefully I'll be awake enough to have a good vocabulary next time I come here. --Dandin1 01:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

If this is true it should definitely be in the article. I'm LF2, im just too lazy to log in.

Contradiction
One paragraph claims that Skeid and his wife have "both subsequently disappeared" sometime around October '04. Later on, he's said to have joined her in Portugal and (in 2007) apparently still living there. It might just reflect the general need for this article to be tidied up, but I'm a bit puzzled about how he can have been traced so well when he apparently disappeared.

 * It appears to say that they both subsequently disappeared. Clearly his whereabouts were known as of 2007 when he gave the interview to GQ, so I'm removing the tag.  Exploding Boy (talk) 22:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
