I think one could be suspicious of death reports for any of the
fictional characters, especially given their possible presence over
there. The Times notice for Tantivy is a typically unconvincing
example.

Which leaves only the `real' (heh heh) people, Dr Thiel who dies in
the 1943 Allies raid and maybe FDR, who gets a mention whilst still
living but whose death is also remarked on no?

Alec McHoul originally wanted to know who were the large number of
people who died. Well, there is no mention of them by name but doesn't
TRP refer to the inhabitants of Hiroshima greeting another pleasant
day just before the bomb is about to drop?  If that isn't enough to
justify `large' then I'll throw in King Kong who after appearing large
as life taking a shit turns out to be the lifeless, burned out hulk of
the Reichstag. Oh, and there's always those dead loaves of bread on
the streets of Berlin.
