Scuba diving accident
Later court findings in Singapore said Zubeen Garg died from accidental drowning while swimming, not in a scuba-diving accident.
Full reasoning
Singapore court reporting after the coroner’s inquiry contradicts this wording. CNA reported that Zubeen Garg "drowned near Lazarus Island after declining life jacket" and that witnesses saw him jump in for a swim, not for scuba diving. In March 2026, CNA further reported that the state coroner ruled his death an "accidental drowning" and said he had gone on two swims from a yacht trip. That means the page’s specific cause label, "Scuba diving accident," is inaccurate based on the later official findings.
This is a meaningful distinction: the official inquiry described a drowning during swimming near Lazarus Island, whereas scuba diving is a different activity with different equipment and circumstances.

Connecticut, Massachusetts, United states
Mark Snow was reported to have died at his home in Connecticut; the listing’s placement of Connecticut in Massachusetts is wrong.
Full reasoning
Reputable reports on Mark Snow’s death say he died at his home in Connecticut. TheWrap reported that he "died in his Connecticut home", and Variety reported that he "died Friday at his home in Connecticut."
The location text here is incorrect because it says "Connecticut, Massachusetts, United states". Connecticut is its own U.S. state, not a place in Massachusetts. The official Town of Washington website also identifies Washington as "Washington, CT", which matches the reporting that Snow died in Connecticut and further contradicts the Massachusetts label.
