There has apparently been no confirmation of his death - Wikipedia still lists him as alive and editors there say there's insufficient evidence. If the linked article is true, maybe he faked his death.
Yeah, that's what started the speculation though. I grabbed the obit link from that discussion. The person who posted it, that's the only post they've made.
He may be resting in peace, but I don't really know
This link is from the actual funeral home and sadly looks like it's probably legitimate.
