I also noticed that his pages were down and wanted to ask here (or e-mail him) but wasn't sure. Did you try his Gmail address too? (Yikes about phone being disconnected.)

Where is a link to that? And what is SSDI? (Social Security Death Index???)

I thought he was in America, so why would he die in Africa??
