Change the Date of Death?

[edit]

So it says in Date of Death that it was 1848. But according to several Inuit oral sources, two men walking south long after that were encountered. One of them had red hair, spoke Netsilik and was a “Doktook” (commonly mispronounced Inuit saying of “doctor”). This is shown in the article very well, so awesome job there.

I’m not familiar with Wikipedia policy on this, so if the policy is to use the most commonly associated date of death because we can never be 100%, I get that, but shouldn’t there be a section at the end saying that he most likely did not die in 1848?
