My source for the death is a tweet.
It is a tweet from the official Bletchley Park feed, so I think it's reliable enough ... but I've asked them for more, and a photo if they can :-)
Remember: "reliable sources" is a guideline and requires the application of good sense.
Indeed. I would think that twitter feeds can be reliable under the same approach as for blogs - if the blog is an official source of information by a media outlet, or other institution which is reliable, it is a reliable source.
