His agent, Ginette Achim [from Outremont], confirmed in an interview with The Globe and Mail that Mr. Lalonde died surrounded by family in a residence in a suburb outside Montreal.

The family received condolences on Monday, June 27, 2016 from 1-2 p.m., followed by a funeral service at 2 p.m. for family and friends at Saint Thomas Aquinas Church in Hudson. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/montrealgazette/obituary.aspx?pid=180453084

Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 00:18, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been mentioned on the corresponding French talk page (itself mentioned on the French WP Village Pump), which found 8 sources saying he died in Outremont [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (in French) and [8] (in English), and only one source [9] (in English, the last one just above) saying unambiguously that death (not the funeral service) occurred in Hudson, so I showed both views in the article per WP:NPOV, as it has now been done in the French article.

Hudson is the last right location of Pierre Lalonde's, not Outremont. These publications are very low value sources, all repeating the informations from the several media owned by cheap Québecor (tricky QMI), and are dependent, without any journalistic verification on such 'details' as locations…: TVA, Journal de Montréal, Canoe, etc
