I am seeing second-hand reports from a wide variety of sources that author Colin Wilson has died.

Just spotchecked the BBC. Nothing. Maybe they're waiting for Other Media Outlets.

His Wikipedia entry states he has died. He reportedly had a stroke last year, and lost his ability to speak.

I checked there but despite previous insistence on their part for sources re: death dates, I did not see one for him.

The Colin Wilson article may not, but the "Recent deaths" page cites an obituary in The Times (bulk of article behind paywall).
