Death
At this time, 14:50 on 30/04/2010, despite reports on Twitter and other sources, I have heard nor seen any official confirmation. Can anyone clear this up? I will continue to search and make calls for information. If details cannot be retrieved at this time, should we lock the page?

Confirmed via CDPS on national radio (Newstalk, reputable national talk/new station) - gave official confirmation of Gerry Ryan's death. thejetset1 (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure most major news sources will have a lengthy story up soon. For the moment there's a fairly tiny source on breakingnews.ie TheChrisD Rants•Edits 13:55, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Confirmed: http://www.examiner.ie/breakingnews/ireland/gerry-ryan-found-dead-455930.html
Yeah, it's been confirmed since then. That's fine, and good to see the appropriate tags added to the page. Will updates as appropriate. RIP.

Curiously he's still updating his blog at [1]. How is that for dedication! Stormcloud (talk) 14:18, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Saw some vandalism on the page already. I'll keep an eye on it. --NotoriousTF (talk) 14:27, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Removed the word "potential" from this discussion. You're welcome.
>Sorry I do not know the proper template for this page, but I would like to make the following point(s):
The names of his parents be removed from the sidebar, as they are all ready mentioned in the 'Early Life' section/sub-section. Also it could be noted that on the day on his death the words "Gerry Ryan" trended fifth on Twitter(meaning they were the fifth most mentioned words on the site). They also were the most searched words on Google Images. Both statistics are worldwide.
Edit request from Nathaniel555, 30 April 2010
{{editsemiprotected}}
The "g" in Googled is not capitalised.

Not done google is correct nowadays. Algebraist 22:00, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
No, 'google' is only acceptable when in verb form. Otherwise, when talking about the company/site,'Google' is required.
Cause of death
I see in this article in the Irish Independent they mention: it is believed the 53-year-old star suffered a heart attack..
It might also be worth mentioning that he was found by his current partner, Melanie Verwoerd, the former South African ambassador to Ireland.
