What do you mean "his death was not discovered until May 2011"??? Do you have any more details on this? Sounds pretty bizarre...

Poor wording. He died in 1998, but no one found out about it until this year. It happens from time to time.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide any details about his death, as I don't have any, haha .
