81 YO with 2 other significant health issues you would think he must have been but that is a very good question.

I think RU will eventually pass on the information, but probably after the family has had time to bury him and begin to deal with his passing. In the meantime no need to aid and abet the agenda driven websites. We can wait.

Agree with this. Bolded to clarify that it's likely not burial but cremation instead.
