It's strange for an obituary to be two months late...
it says in the september article from wired establishing the cause of death may take weeks, is it mentioned somewhere now?
In the article:
> He died unexpectedly of natural causes
Does it have anything to do with recent pandemic events?
yes, the ones that will take weeks to establish. are the results mentioned somewhere now?
This isn’t one obituary. It’s a list of members who died, with his name being the first listed.
The article tags say it's one, though...
Outside of major public figures it's not that unusual. Writing an obit. takes time, especially for lesser known figures where you may need to contact friends and family (who may be grieving) for information about the person's life.
ieee writing an obituary is really a different context than the Daily Beagle running obituary.
