There is still uncertainty over the date of his death. His death only became public knowledge on 16 February, but some sources, such as this have read a Facebook posting by his apparently estranged daughter (here) as meaning that he died ten days after 11 January, that is on 21 January. In contrast, Rolling Stone indicates here that he died on Saturday 11 February. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:23, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
