Cause of death

edit

The claim being made in this revert is pure original research. The New York Times source makes no claim of a link between potential (not confirmed) exposure to the virus and the subject's cause of death. Other sources explicitly state there is no connection.

  • To be absolutely clear, I am NOT making any claims of correlation at all, and I believe the above supposition that I am making claims of correlation is in fact WP:OR from the above editor. The article from NYT is here. To be clear the point I am making here is -- there is no reason for "death_reason = heart attack" to be removed from the infobox. I am adding two other editors who have the next highest authorship on this page to weigh in and then proceed as they deem fit. @RFD: and @Yoninah: -- please have a read and recommend as you deem fit. I will be busy with my offline activities today, so feel free to decide as appropriate and move forward. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 16:13, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • The restored text attributed to The New York Times about the possibility of her being exposed to blood droplets and bone fragments appears to be a true paraphrase of the source. I also don't see the problem with citing her death from heart attack in the infobox, as that too is sourced to the NY Times. Yoninah (talk) 16:27, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
