A google search for "Lynne Thigpen" "heart attack" retrieves some articles that say heart attack and other articles that say:
Has there been an official autopsy? Or any official word? Kingturtle 03:35 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
If it's good enough for IMDB, then there should be some reference to it on here. Just don't wipe it completely from the bio.
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Thigpen,%20Lynne
Even this morning's Los Angeles Times said that the cause of her death had not yet been deterimined. -- Zoe 03:42 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
imdb only includes what anybody off the street wants to put into it. All you have to do is become a registered user and you can update it. -- Zoe
You probably should do that. I still dont see whats wrong with adding something about the heart attack though. It's not like you can't change it when the autotopsy comes out.
maybe like "Cause of death not known, but alleged to be a heart attack"
absence of information should not mean its inaccurrate. wikipedia doesn't have any information on sid davis. If you refer to Kingturtle search results, they all returned something about a heart attack. So I think it's safe to say she more likely than not had a heart attack or stroke.

Some news agencies would rather get the information out there and correct themselves later. If someone wanted to do a school report on Lynne, im sure they would want to include something about what the death was alleged to be, even after we know the cause of death.
This is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. I did ask for the post above, so mea culpa if now I have to object to it -- that is a columnist, not a news item. As I said before, the LA Times said just this morning that the autopsy hasn't been announced yet, and the cause of death is unknown. Why do you feel the need to jump the gun? -- Zoe
172.148.44.28 is not me...i did not make those changes made by that user.
This annoying person has been revealed to be Lir. -- Zoe
Good way of bringing in the singing angle...I just thought that when the opening line referred to her as an "American actress and singer," it left the impression that she had a singing/recording/concert-giving career, as opposed to acting and singing in musicals. Cafemusique 11:22 May 15, 2003 (UTC)
"While her later work emphasized acting over singing, her intriguing dusky voice made its way to over 20 socially-relevant books on tape,"
This statement ends with a comma. Was someone meaning to give examples of her books on tape or just gramatically deficient? MusicMaker5376 23:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Neither. If you try typing while you are lying down with the keyboard on your belly, looking at the monitor on your bedstand, you'll find that (as Forrest Gump suggested) typos happen. <- a period, not a comma. ClairSamoht 06:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
I made a few minor revisions to the top of the article. Most of it expanded what was already in the filmography, etc. below.
This may be a little POV, but I liked her, and I was sad that the death portion of the article actually seemed to take up more space than her body of work. So I tried to add a bit more about her very long and illustrious career. NickBurns 02:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
While the article claims that Thigpen's death was the reason for Bear in the Big Blue House's hiatus, there's no citation accompanying this claim. Meanwhile, Noal MacNeal, the man behind the bear, has posted a video on TikTok debunking this claim. https://www.tiktok.com/@noelmacneal/video/6944786744097164549
This claim should be removed from the article unless a citation can be provided. 2603:6080:5A04:5F4F:9475:DDA8:60BB:D754 ( talk) 20:42, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
