@Renewal6: I find you’re being a bit over scrutinizing over what is likely a typo. I’ve run the article through several translators and got back “On Christmas Day”. Even then I don’t see how “On Christmas Days” disqualifies it. You can’t assume they mean the second Christmas Day, as well as how does the sentence “on Christmas Days” even make any sense?

I don't see any typo in the source: "On Christmas Day" would be translated as "am Weihnachtstag" (not "an Weihnachten"). The Boxing Day "is considered the second day of Christmas" in Germany (per article), so the sentence makes perfectly sense. We should wait for an unambiguous reference.

Whichever way you look at it, there is reasonable cause for doubt as to which of the days he died on, so obviously, casting the evil of assumption aside, it should for now be a death announced entry. Ref (chew)(do) 14:51, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I really disagree there is reasonable doubt. Boxing Day is inherently its own day and would be referred to as such, not awkwardly as “on Christmas Days”. If that was the aim would there not be a “one” in there? “On one of the days of Christmas”? Rusted AutoParts 15:53, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Subsequent sources published today have given conflicting days anyway so I shall cede my stance on that basis. Rusted AutoParts 16:01, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Which is the point I was trying to make - where there is doubt, hang fire. Ref (chew)(do) 16:03, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
