Ah, one of my unique picks.   I meditated for a good few minutes before deciding to select Bernadette Mayer, mainly over obit concerns...

Charles Simic reportedly dead aged 84.

How the hell you get this 6 hours ago?  NYTimes 1 hour ago Washington Post and other publications less than that?  The link you provide appears to be a Facebook post I cannot open.

So post a source when you copy the Wiki entry then. 

There was no linked obit when I looked at your Wikipedia link.  There's a thread for unsourced Wiki deaths.

I just assumed it was linked on Wiki. Normally un sourced deaths are removed.

Wikipedia by itself is not a source.

Seriously, start posting news links / obits with your posts, or don't post at all. Simples.

But now she’s dead, oh well, what a pity.
