Date and cause of death

looks like he died on 4th August, not the 5th, per the latest news stories such as https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2024/08/12/graham-thorpe-took-own-life-after-battle-with-depression-fa/ :( 2A00:23C8:308D:9E00:71B5:8E8D:1754:CC3B (talk) 19:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it, as it is now being reported that he sadly died in the early hours of August 4th, after taking his own life. BRACK66 (talk) 20:28, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
