Link submitter here (first time, too): My apologies, I saw the news via the Computer History Museum's twitter feed ( https://twitter.com/ComputerHistory/status/35248540097302118... ) , and they linked to that page. I googled around for a better link but couldn't find anything, but felt it was worth mentioning as a story to allow for discussion?
It just seemed like an elaborate troll and an unsubstantiated rumor at first because that link didn't mention his death, and as you said, there was nothing else mentioned about his death anywhere!
Your link makes a lot more sense now, but I'm still confused why so many people upvoted it before it was corrected to a better link that corroborated the title!
