It is very sad! :(
I tried to find any information about his death, but no results.
Judging by the video "The Avengers 50th Anniversary obituary reel" on the YouTube, we have also lost the Robert Day and John Bryce - on the internet there is no information about it. :(

Only we mourn and remember. We an army of "The Avengers". :cry: :cry: :cry:

Today, the date of death of Don Sharp (18 december 2011) has appeared on webpages:

This is a fiction, as the information about the death of Don appeared on December 17.

I believe that Don had died in December, but earlier. Then it turns out that the video "The Avengers 50th Anniversary obituary reel" is lying.
Hmmm...

It's puzzle. Worth thinking about.
