Here is the death notice for the Tulio Altamura who died on 6 June 2005. It was added to his Wikipedia years ago with no evidence of it being the actor – we debated it at the time, and decided it likely wasn't him. In fact, the obituary says "Altamura Tullio Rome, June 7, 2005 On June 6, 2005, Tullio Altamura passed away Journalist His wife Rossana, his sons Gianni and Guido, and his brother Roberto announced his passing. The burial will take place on June 7, 2005 at the Verano cemetery" Why does the obituary not state actor? Instead it says journalist. There is no evidence anywhere that he was also a journalist. He retired from acting aged 65 (standard retirement age). To then become a journalist at 65 is virtually unheard of. I do not think this is the same man. In any case, I can't update the Wiki pages for any of the names where you've stated SWDB as the source. It was recently agreed on the talk page for Deaths in 2024 that it isn't reliable because it's essentially just another Wiki. They seem to accept any tips that people send them without questioning.

Gisooo 3,462 Posted November 15 The answer was from the film researcher. That's what he said. Everyone added that he died in 2005, the same for the historian. One thing is known: he's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone has any names they’d like me to check, please write them here or DM them to me. Please note that looking at the index in person uses a very old fashioned machine, not a computer, so it’s time consuming. As such, I’d prefer it if ppl only gave me maximum 3 names each.

LWCZ 218 Posted November 23 Looks like Billy Christ (William Vasil Christ), the "last man standing" of The Gaylords (who replaced Ronald L. Fredianelli when Fredianelli joined the army in the 1950s), passed away only four months after Don Rea (the last original member of the group) back in 2017.

I agree in regards to Jiro Tanaka. Just like Makoto Ogawa (wiki), likely deceased but not made public. I disagree with Steve Lu and Wesley P. Dahlberg. Dahlberg is still listed as living and resident in California (aged 105) according to MyLife and searchpeoplefree. Maybe @Gisooo can check Accurint? Steve Lu was definitely still alive in 2015, and his website was renewed as recently as 2022, with a contact form for him still in use on there. @arghton, decided to email Steve Lu's website today – got an immediate response from his secretary who confirmed he's still with us. Turns 106 in February. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,843 Posted December 11 Died 4 March 2016 in London. Confirmed by the GRO Index. BABSON, MAURICE 1925 GRO Reference: DOR Q1/2016 in BARNET (219-1A) Entry Number 513479172 I had a job finding him in the birth index to doubly confirm that there wasn't anyone else by that name born in 1925. Eventually found him. Maurice Babon born March 1925 in Whitechapel, London (and registered the following quarter). Either his surname was misspelled on registration (or when it was later transcribed) or he tweaked it slightly in later life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The parents' marriage confirms the spelling, so it must be the latter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
