Whois shows a domain registered in his name, we've linked to it in this thread what, three times now?
That means nothing. You can change that name and address info to absolutely anything you want. It's not validated.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

FWIW, I (and my company) have sent Gus FedExes and checks at that name and address in the past.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Not everybody does obits, they're expensive. Not only haveUniversities been on break, if you searched my name you'd get nothing on any of my Alumni newsletters even though I am in them. The reason we HAVE the name Guy is Kimi brought it up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure I've gotten a check from Gus/Guy Straley several years ago.

Well, most of us have made out with Brenda. That should be sufficient.

The "lead" obituaries that are in local papers are not paid obituraries -- it's a separate thing.

There's a phone number on the Whois information? Anyone care to make the call?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um, I already have. About four times, about six weeks ago. All I heard was a somewhat faint and hard to hear voicemail message. I left messages but never got a return call.
Gus gave the number to me stating it was the number of his mechanic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I brought this subject up with Cindy and Teppy via email this morning.
Last night I was grieving. I took Kimi's announcement at face value. I cared about the Gus I knew online and enjoyed him. But you know...I don't know one academic in the world that you can't find online. They all leave a trail. Somebody of Guy Straley's accomplishments should've been all over the place. I've only published two tiny books and you get 21,000 hits on my name (most of them me). Anybody who's building a goddam aspirin replicator in Europe ought to come up.
That somebody was making changes to the TV Tropes wiki under his name after his death with a half-assed story about why he was using that name? Very suspicious.
And just to remind you - Gus delurked right around the whole Schmoker/Anathema kerfuffle. ijs.
The whole dynamic is very similar to the Penlind fiasco, and other pseudicides I've seen and read about. That whole dynamic of bailing out on meetings because of an exotic incurable illness? Man, that's CLASSIC.
So, yeah. I was crying last night. Today...I'd like to be certain.
