Cause Of Death?

This source has it as suicide from a self-inflicted injury: [[1]] But I am suspicious as I have never heard of Nations News and it could just be a bot-written article designed to be click bait. I can see no mention of cause of death, nor of self-inflicted injury elsewhere in the media. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 03:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DavidFarmbrough: I've been updating the article and I too have not seen anything that indicates a cause of death. Likewise I have never heard of Nations News but given the fact it ends with .blog, I am inclined to think that it is not an RS. Especially if its claiming something important like that which no other reputable news organisation has stated. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 10:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
