No, for now I don't follow that.
The second obituary that has been removed still had the google cache. The date was the same as in the one that is still online.
I don't believe in BOTH sides making an error.
Whowever places such an obituary is CLOSE to the death person and will NOT make that mistake, so that can be excluded also.
Many say: We'll believe XYZ when PPHM or ... confirms it officially, well for this news I want it confirmed officially too!
I agree, Thorpe said it himself on his personal side that there is a team and they will continue and it doesn't change anything for Bavi because Bavi is already there, works and has an MOA.
But still, Thopre death must be made official.
The important news of the day at Univ. Texas SW was some kind of Dieet news. They put everything of importance in their news and Thorps not in there (MAR nor APR). If they can publish diet knew then they are certainly not out of the office!
