Slight inconsistencies

There are two tiny disagreements in the otherwise reliable sources: (1) the year of birth/age at death. Was he born in 1979 (thus age 41) or 1985 (therefore age 35)? and (2) Did he die in Mount Sinai or Montefiore Hospital? Bearian (talk) 21:22, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NY Times article ^[1] writes about 41 and Montefiore Medical Center --Choas~enwiki (talk) 17:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information on missing left leg

Does anyone have any information on why he's missing his left leg? Feels weird seeing that picture and the article doesn't bring it up even once. How did he lose his leg? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:0:80D:0:0:0:38 (talk) 20:18, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Grimaces.) I don't know and didn't want to bother his widow about that Bearian (talk) 01:26, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He's not missing his left leg. He's standing with his left foot placed against the wall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:8B80:988:58AE:9401:BC17:E0F1 (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
