Berners-Lee family seem to have a bad habit of not reporting passings to the press. I imagine an obit will be along eventually. Probably Telegraph or Guardian.

Yes, so did I. And just checked and he appears to still be alive aged 101. Anyone able to make sense of this?

An obit comes finally...

Mable Lee, American tap dancer and singer, dead at 97.

Gerald English, English tenor dead at 93. John Raymond Smythies, neuroscientist dead at 96. Both have accompanying tweets mentioning their demise but no obits yet.

Former US Representative John Dingell, 92, gone into hospice care with prostate cancer. Yet said to be in "good spirits", awake, telling jokes etc. etc. Hmmm...

There are already multiple sources online confirming he is dead. This thread is for people who are dead according to their Wikipedia page, with no reliable sources available elsewhere to confirm.

Hmmm given that that thread is so fresh (only posted Sat), could somebody jump on and comment to ask if it’s the same Reg Pugh who was a pro footballer and if anyone knows when he passed? I would do this myself but not a FB user!

Updated. OoO, you're a star.

Conway Berners-Lee, computer scientist and father of Tim dead at 97. Inclined to believe this one is accurate as the editor who added the death date was the same one who added Mary Berners-Lee's death when the press hadn't yet covered it.

Put your handbag away plz.

You forgot Hemingway and McInnes again. Hughes is dead.

Never mind. Dead at 95.

Based on their health / appearance, McDiarmid who seems very active.

Leigh Rayment? Site hasn't been updated since December 2nd. Not at all like him so something has happened. Some of the pages don't even work anymore. Pity as it's the only complete record online of MP and peer records and honours etc. Seems I'm not the only one who's noticed.
