OK, this is a new notation style (for me at least), but I noticed when I changed the date of the article to September 25 (for UTC), the article claims he died Wednesday. It is not yet Wednesday in any US territory I am aware of and definitely not in California. --SVTCobra 01:10, 25 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Both sources for the death state promptly that he died Monday night. I've corrected the word in the article (treating it as I would in a review, though if I end up reviewing this I'd keep that in mind in the tally of how much leeway I've used up). --Pi zero (talk) 01:20, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
