You must cite in the article a published reliable source to verify. If the person recently died, then wait for an obituary or news reports to be published before making the change. There is no hurry. Wikipedia is not a breaking news site. –

I did do my own research. I used a couple of major search engines to see if there were any reports of his death so I could add at least one and fix your edits. The search engines I used did not reveal any reports. Maybe I'm using the wrong search engines, but I did do some due diligence before reverting your edits. No need to worry. As soon as some reports are published, I am confident the article will be updated accordingly. –

Tonite at 8:35 I lost the love of my life, my best friend,the most wonderful husband in the world. My beautiful Don has gone to be with his Lord in Heaven. I can’t imagine life without him"?
