Oracle Says Co-CEO Mark Hurd Has Died

Most comments moved to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21292476" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21292476</a>.

I know this is slightly off-topic, but I find this headline to be extremely strange. Why not &quot;Oracle Co-CEO Mark Hurd has Died&quot;? Surely the news is his death, not the announcement?
