Journalism is not mindless parroting of online sources. Sometimes you may have to actually ask a living person a question on behalf of your audience, or do records requests.

Seems like an obvious thing to do whenever writing a "notable person X has died" article. The obituary, for instance, says he died on the 27th. The Macomb County records office [0] says he died on 26 September 2016. [0] https://macombvitals.macombcountymi.gov/death.php https://macombvitals.macombcountymi.gov/death.php (search for David Hahn)
