According to the main article of Deaths in 2017 he is listed as deceased as of February 3, 2017 based on this obituary (which is what is cited on Deaths in 2017) but I'm not convinced that's it the same person. Other databases I've checked still list him as alive as of today's date, however I don't know if that's accurate either. Is there anyone with more knowledge on the subject who can verify his reported death? I haven't made the changes in his corresponding article because of conflicting information.
