Are there sourced for this? I had removed the category. TIA --Tom 04:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Popkey article used as a source doesn't mince words. It also references a biography by David Maraniss that I haven't read. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 09:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That reads like its his opinion. Probable best to leave that category out since it looks like speculation. --Tom 14:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)ps Are there other sourced for the AIDS thingie as well since? --Tom 14:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it reads pretty factual, especially further down in the article. But how about:
  • Freeman, Michael (2003), Bloody Sundays: Inside the Dazzling, Rough-and-Tumble World of the NFL, HarperCollins, ISBN 0060739312
  • Kroeger, Brooke (2004), Passing: When People Can't Be Who They Are, p. 238, ISBN 1586482874
Do those work okay? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 22:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I have to go to the library to read them :). Sure, not really that big of a deal. Do these sources discuss his cause of death? People's medical conditions can be quite sensitive, understandable so. It seems that if there is any uncertainty, stuff like cause of death, ect are better left out. Anyways, just me 2 cents as always, cheers. --Tom 15:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Google Books is wonderful :)
I don't believe either of those discuss McDonald's death. The original newspaper article does, but that's the only one I've seen. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personal experience?
