Taking out the Daughters and the AIDS-relate complications

Through emails with a couple of people who had known Tucker Smith in life, there is some doubt about Smith's three daughters, as well as David Ehrenstein's (unsubstantiated) claim that Tucker's cancer was AIDS-related. As this would be constituted as "original research", I figure that the right thing to do is simply delete them from the article and not have these two items mentioned.Madonnarama (talk) 01:13, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

It is entirely possible that Tucker's cancer was augmented by Aids. He was a known Gay Male and given the year in which he died, 1988, it would seem quite logical. Also, he did not leave three daughters. It is generally known that he left three sisters. The three daughters were a mistake made by a few of the newspapers relating his death. Also, David Ehrenstein, as a source, is quite reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.209.54 (talk) 00:45, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

I did quite a bit of research as to where Tucker Smith is buried. There is no trace of him buried in his hometown of Philadelphia. There is a family plot but he is not there. He may have been cremated which, as of yet, I cannot substantiate. I am in the process of getting a Uncertified Death Certificate for Tucker Smith which will report his burial? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.209.54 (talk) 20:44, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
