All the articles I've seen say that he died on Sunday, the 30th.

RIP, good doctor.

Far be it from me to defend Zach, who can't even be bothered to give Sacks or anyone an RIP, but does it really matter if he died Saturday or Sunday (unless there's a daily death pool somewhere I didn't know about).

It's not like someone posted a current RIP for Francisco Franco.

Many of us are more interested in facts than you are.
