German wikipedia lists him as dead, but without a source. I have asked over there to see if they have a source. I looked and, in English, I was unable to find a source.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 18:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've found a source. It's in German but it looks appropriate to me. I've updated this article accordingly, I'm not changing the DE article as my German isn't up to it, but I don't think they are wrong. ϢereSpielChequers 20:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, me too. They would probably appreciate you putting the source over there (in English is fine, usually, someone will understand it) on the talk page... I would do it myself, but you deserve the credit. :) --Jimbo Wales (talk) 21:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I never heard about Siebenbürgische Zeitung before. It's a local news paper where Friedrich von Bömches lived. But you can trust them because also one of the major news papers of cologne and hinterland reported at 5th of May that he died "last sunday" (= May 2nd)[1]. Merlissimo 00:30, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
I would be cautious about using a local newspaper to assert notability, but when it comes to the death of someone who has been out of the spotlight for decades then I think we are on safer ground. ϢereSpielChequers 06:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
