no idea about him, he hasn't been in public in years but that's no surprise at that age, and I don't think they have as much of a reason to lie about hsi death as with the Queen. With her they might want to hold off on announcing her death and having a Charles coronation because they are egotistical and want that to dominate the news but they have things like russia and the terrible economy dominating the news right now. If something happens that they want to take attention from, like if it's proven US was making bioweapons in Ukraine, then they might announce it.
