June 2, 2007---Maurice Gibb/personal info---deleted the reference to cardiac arrest, because other people editing don't understand that the complications of the twisted intestine *included* cardiac arrest, but he did not die when the arrest occurred. The cardiac arrest occurred two days before his actual death, before surgery occurred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RationalLady (talk • contribs)

August 17, 2007---Maurice Gibb/personal info---Please do not edit the cause of death on this man. He did NOT have a heart attack---he suffered cardiac arrest (stoppage of the heart) BEFORE he had surgery on the twisted intestine. He lived for two days after that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RationalLady (talk • contribs)

August 18, 2007---Maurice Gibb/personal info---Edited this again to remove inaccurate references. The Scotsman articles are inaccurate. As stated, he did not suffer a heart attack, but cardiac arrest, which did NOT cause his death. Also, the "family" did not settle....only Yvonne Gibb. His brothers did not want to settle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RationalLady (talk • contribs).


 * This discussion more appropriately belongs on Talk:Maurice Gibb where other editors will be looking, not on your talk page (I didn't know to look here the last time you mentioned the talk page which is why I said nothing was on talk). The language I used to describe what led to his death was taken from several news articles, and referenced as such.  Your assertion above was not referenced, and appears to be your own opinion - if not, please provide references in the article.  I will clarify what I wrote, based on the news reports I have that are contemporaneous with his death, and updated by a report a year later, and I plan to reinstate  it.  If you have references that contradict what I have, perhaps you should add that other reports gave other causes, say what they are,  and reference that.  Just saying that the Scotsman articles are inaccurate doesn't really satisfy - how do you know that  your opinion is more correct?  Sources, please - there's no reason we can't have a short summary of the discrepancies in reporting the cause of his death included, but they have to be referenced.
