Presumption of Death needs citation

[edit]

In the absence of information to the contrary, the subject of this article needs to be presumed to be alive until 115 years after birth, or 2038. However, that would probably be a notable matter of itself. The lead suggests the subject of this article is deceased but offers no evidence to confirm this is the case. Since Wikipedia's presumption of death is still in the future, the source of this presumption of death needs a citation. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible match?

[edit]

I looked for Harrison in the 1950 US Census and found a Lester Harrison born in 1922 - https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/221109494:62308?tid=&pid=&queryId=760b9ca904d4e59e08b28cd500746583&_phsrc=ddL24791&_phstart=successSource. He's listed as an inmate in the penitentiary where Harrison was in 1951. The census lists his birth state as Mississippi.

I found a WWII draft card for the Harrison born in Mississippi which says he was living in Chicago at the time -https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/39655782:2238?tid=&pid=&queryId=eb3cef7333b6803fd106be4007237e36&_phsrc=ddL24792&_phstart=successSource. It gives a birth date of 7 June 1922.

I can't find anything that says Harrison is deceased, whether he's the above mentioned Harrison or not, but I think it's likely that he is.
