I apologize for the tone, I have aspergers and can be a prick by accident, totally didn't mean it in negative, just was curious and felt a tweet wasn't that great a way to announce something like someone important's death.
It's totally reasonable to ask why you should care about a particular strangers death in a world where 150,000 people die every single day.
If you truly don't care just move on. If you want to know more, it doesn't take a great deal of skill to use Twitter, GitHub, Google, and more to find out all that you want to know.
