Benedict is dead

Another Wikipedian altered this article to state that Benedict was still alive, as per a retraction on the Cartoon Brew website. Closer reading of the retraction will reveal that CB was correcting information on a photo alledged to be Benedict. The photo was of Don Duga. Duga is alive; Benedict is not. Several other sources, among them Animation World News, have also reported his death.Konczewski 20:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But when exactly? The article shows two dates (28 Aug, 10 Sept) and BBC radio has just announced his death this morning (11 October) for some reason! Ndaisley 07:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changed

I made the change of date to his death. I edited it to be August 28. 2006 as that is what was reported in the news online.

It's August 28th

The LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-obit-benedict,1,7082990.story?coll=sns-ap-nation-headlines&ctrack=1&cset=true) confirmed in Benedict's obituary that he died on August 28th. It was reported by a close friend of Benedict's. The report of his death did not reach the media until 10/10, which is probably why the BBC did not report anything until then.
