Hi, you added a notice that he died today. Can you provide a source for that? Wikipedia does not pronounce people dead without a reliable, citeable source. Steinbach (talk) 21:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

I guess the official obituary hasn't been uploaded anywhere online; my source is currently information directly from his colleagues / family. Nicholson.thomas (talk) 21:36, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I've seen this information confirmed by several sources today, but keep in mind that this is at odds with Wikipedia's policy. Wikipedia emphatically rejects original research; all our information must come from published sources in order to keep the project reliable. Steinbach (talk) 13:11, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
