Clorox Bleachman 2,164 Posted June 18 13 minutes ago, drol said: I risked it. The initial post was much more dubitative. But the article author is a university teacher in New York. And some western tweets have started to appear, so I gave it a chance. At the bottom, one of the tags is "obituary". That's the only reference to his death in the article.

He probably was commissioned to write this a while ago in anticipation of the death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
