Ezzard Charles date of death

Post by evndrbsn »

This has been bothering me. Today is 48 years since Ezzard Charles died. Boxrec lists his date of death as May 27. It is May 28. All research shows May 28, including death records. Here is one of many newspapers dating his death as May 28, 1975 (5/28/75 was a Wednesday, this is the Thursday edition 5/29/75).

Thank you; I waited until the change was made and then corrected the date on his biography page under section "Professional Career" in the final paragraph.
