DISPUTED
There is a conflict in the reported age and date of death. One source says he died at 91, another says 92. Furthermore, the claim states he died on May 10, 2026, which is a future date relative to the current real-time context of the other news reports, though the evidence provided is treated as live. However, the discrepancy between 91 and 92 makes it disputed.
