"Date of death unknown" may also be used for people from the more recent past who died in circumstances which mean their exact death date is unknown.
Historically-recent people whose date of death is likely to have been recorded and could be researched should be included in Category:Date of death missing.
"Date of death unknown" and Category:Year of death unknown, which is used with individuals whose end-of-life statistics are presumed to be irretrievably lost, as well as Category:Year of death missing, are intended to be mutually exclusive.

Famous quotes containing the words date, death and/or unknown:
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the wind.
Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the wind.
Happy in death are they only whose hearts have consigned
All Earth’s affections and longings and cares to the wind.”
—James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849)
“Within the regions of the air,
Compassed about with heavens fair,
Great tracts of land there may be found
Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
Where many numerous hosts
In those far distant coasts,
For other great and glorious ends,
Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
