Sources
Every factual record in The Deaths Archive retains its source. Where possible, a visible Sources section appears at the bottom of the relevant page, linking to the original source.
Historical Archive
The historical archive is primarily based on Wikipedia/Wikimedia structured information, especially the Lists of deaths by year and the linked yearly/monthly pages.
Current News (“Who Died Today?”)
Recent deaths are sourced from reputable news organizations, which may include Reuters, the Associated Press, the BBC, The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, Al Jazeera, major national newspapers and reputable specialist publications. Each entry links directly to the original article. We do not reproduce full copyrighted articles — only a short original summary with attribution.
