[edit] Death

Damn shame he died; until five minutes ago I assumed he was still alive. I have fond memories of the Terran Trade Authority books, and old Harry Harrison book covers. Still, this article states that he died "of a heart attack in Skegness while working on mural paintings for Butlins", whereas the article's only source says that he died in a pub, with no mention of Skegness. These two facts aren't contradictory, but there's no source on the internet whatsoever to support his death in Skegness. I note that the only external link, an "unofficial homepage", is essentially a reprint of this forum post, which seems to be the only piece of writing on the internet about Elson. The rest of that site's biography is a copy of the Wikipedia article. I'm not sure if Wikipedia can source articles from websites that source their information from Wikipedia's article, it's a bit inbred. -Ashley Pomeroy 21:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC) (and -Ashley Pomeroy 00:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC))
