I rather object to the wording of your edit summary "Deads are not married" - that is grossly disrespectful, even ignoring the fact that he hasn't officially been pronounced dead. [[User:Halsteadk|Halsteadk]] 12:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

The person is considered to be dead in the head of the article. To make it consistent I changed the text.
Death is part of the live. If a man dies his wife becomes a widow, his children orphans. It is not correct
to change the whole article and leave him "married". I would not want to be married to a ghost. In respect
of the widow this needed to be changed. [[User:Mvb|Mvb]] 12:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
