Reports of my decease are, happily, premature

I have observed in my visitor statistics a great number of visits today emanating from Canada, as a result of search engine queries for 'Bill Cameron'. I often get a few visits from Canada and the US, as a result of search engine queries, and had become aware that there were other people called 'Bill Cameron' in both countries - there are, after all, many people of Scottish descent there, so it is not really surprising. However, the number of such visits today has been quite out of the ordinary.

A little research has revealed that a[nother] gentleman by the name of 'Bill Cameron', a Canadian writer and journalist, has died in the very recent past - yesterday I think - and a news report about his demise is on canada.com here. This will put some visitors on the right track, I hope.
