David91

Per a request on Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians, I'm trying to find out if anyone knows what happened to User:David91. He stopped editing around April 12, 2006, when he was admitted to the hospital for some tests. He possibly lived in Singapore (likely in or near Ang Mo Kio, which he edited 3 times but with enough detail to suggest a strong familiarity with the place), and was probably the oldest Wikipedian at the age of 94 (based on a reference from 2003 when he said he was 91). Is it possible to do a checkuser on his account to get the IP address he edited from? If we had that, we could at least narrow down the search for info on him by then using a geographical locator for the IP address. I also don't know if there is any other info Wikipedia may have on the account that could help. If this request is not in line with CheckUser guidelines or is considered an invasion of privacy, I totally understand if it is denied. Best, --Alabamaboy 14:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: If he last edited on April 12, then a checkuser probably wouldn't work because of age. --GeorgeMoney T·C 16:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that might be the case but figured it couldn't hurt to check. Many thanks.--Alabamaboy 16:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Inconclusive. Too old to check. Essjay (TalkConnect) 07:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
