Hi Steve!

I found one non-English article that reported the death of Jos
Henkens.
Since the article is in Dutch, I translated it with the World Lingo
online translator in order to verify that it was an article about his
death.

Unfortunately I could not find any other non-English article.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks,
Bobbie7

I found the same Dutch article. I do not believe there were any other
articles published. I searched Dialog, DataStar, Factiva, Nexis and
didn't find anything. It nothing was published, that's the answer we
are looking for. Thanks.

After posting my clarification request I continued searching for other

Do you want me to post the Dutch article as the answer to your
question?

Thanks,
