Has died?

Word is spreading online that Gelman passed away two days ago (June 7). I have not found any official online obituaries (still waiting), and the only thing i have found mentioning his death is this :

https://www.newsfromme.com/2021/06/08/larry-gelman-r-i-p/

Since this is basically a blog I am hesitant to add it as a source. Could someone out there (an administrator, hopefully) clarify the status of this source?

In plain English : Add it or wait for it?

I am not an administrator, but I suggest waiting for a reliable source. I would not add it based on a blog. Eddie Blick (talk) 16:37, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It does say he died in unreliable sources as Find a Grave, IMDb and a few others. Doesn't seem to find it in reliable sources or in other news. But I suggest waiting for a while, it'll sure come in the news. MoviesandTelevisionFan (talk) 23:21, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and used the above source, along with a reference from the Life in Legacy website to support the death date. As a stand alone source, the blog isn't strong enough, but the other site compliments it and there is no contradicting information. I've also referenced his birth name and DOB. The article could still use better sourcing. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 15:44, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
