https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayub_Ogada 

 

Haven't seen any UK obits but he had worked with Peter Gabriel, who commented on his website:

 

https://petergabriel.com/news/ayub-ogada-1956-2019/


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.

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.

Church bulletin confirms death of Conway Berners-Lee. Exactly as it happened with his wife.

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.

English actor Peter Hughes at 96 according to the talk page section of his Wiki article. Supposedly his son Simon tweeted it. Can anyone find it?

Wiki now has this as the source for Peter Hughes: http://www.ealingcc.co.uk/news/peter-hughes-2395650.html

 

I'll go with his appearance in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em....

It says February 19 as the day of death. I feel like that one would be big enough that they wouldn’t want to wait a week to announce

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Henry

Eastenders actress currently down as dead on Wiki Dying of a stroke. I suspect an hoax as the account has only been a member three days and did some random Eastenders and Greatest Dancer edits before this one nearly two hours ago.

21.19 Her character page was also edited at the same time but that has been deleted.

21.42. Maybe not an Hoax afterall. A different user claimed to have spoken to her husband but that has been rejected due to no public source.
