I am not sure his death is confirmed though. Apparently he had a new stroke.

I was too lazy to log out but could see this much from Google search. Pinker said, (28 minutes ago): "Reports today of Noam Chomsky's death (in Jacobin and New Statesman, since taken down) were greatly exaggerated. I have confirmation from..."
