Death

edit

I have just removed the cause of death, which was stated as being cancer. Yes, The Christie is a specialist cancer hospital but all sources bar this seem not to mention the cause in any more detail that "short illness". And we're not relying on a headline in The Sun when it doesn't even say it in the text of its own article.

99% certainty that cancer was the cause, but we should not jump to conclusions. I do know people who have been ill and died at that hospital for other reasons. - Sitush (talk) 08:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I agree there is no need for it to appear in the info box. But it still appears in the text, supported by two reliable sources. So I have also added an appropriate Category. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:18, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Date of birth

edit

Oxeberry's date of birth is currently unsourced and I am unable to find anything reliable to support any date. The BBC seem to say only 1967. The IP edit here suggested there may be a record at Companies House? I restored the existing date only as it was long-standing and no source was given for the new one.

This Twitter source has now been added with the edit summary "(An asserted date of birth)". Martinevans123 (talk) 09:35, 12 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

What kind of cancer was it?

edit

I see all the articles stating that she had cancer, but what kind of cancer was it? Thanks in advance to anybody who knows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talkcontribs) 13:09, 12 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
