Interesting lives, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, o copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration. The hook is not my cup of tea, saying nothing about Reuters than that he took his life. I approve it anyway, because it's what DYK seems to want. I didn't deliver in a similar case, Michael Boddenberg, and was accused of the hook not being interesting. - In Reuters' article: ... how about an infobox? ... in the sentence about his sister's second marriage, we hear too late that it's about his sister. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:18, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
