Date of death

Although her death was reported yesterday (15th) and all the media outlets are now saying that is when she died, there's at least one tweet from one of her relatives, posted the night of the 14th, saying Sims had died "last night". So presumably late on the 13th or very early 14th October. Definitely not the 15th at any rate. Hopefully an official obituary can clear this up. Crisso (talk) 19:12, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article backs that up with reports of Joyce's sisters posting on Facebook on Friday (14th) about her passing. The Guardian article actually says the same though doesn't mention the exact date. I will change death date to 14th but add a dubious tag as it's very likely she died on 13th. Still hoping for that full press obituary. Crisso (talk) 17:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos to The Guardian for finally nailling that key piece of biodata (which The Times and The Telegraph had completely failed to do). Let's see if The Independent get it right. Another user has also posted her funerary page as a source, also confirming Joyce passed on the 13th, though I will probably replace this with some secondary sources at some point.
