Place of death[edit]

There seems to be a bit of confusion as to where his body was found. The Evening Standard states he was found in parkland in Edmonton and they quote the police who found him, the BBC state he was found "in London" and the Birmingham Mail mention north London. None of the sources mentions Southend. Samuel J Walker (talk) 09:49, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Muggy"[edit]

3 of the sources on our page mention this nickname in their headlines, it's everywhere in the media coverage and not in our article at all. Why? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:06, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dweller I agree it should be added. It was originally present in the article, but the line was awful. and User:Black Kite removed it, you are welcome to re-add it after phrasing it well and with reliable sources. regards. --DBig Xrayᗙ 10:46, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
