Can anyone find the date of death please?

Can anyone find the date of death of the South African actor Ian Hamilton please?
Ian Hamilton - ESAT (sun.ac.za)

Someone keeps adding credits for the contemporary TV director Ian Hamilton (II) to his filmography Ian Hamilton (I), so it would be useful to be able to close it off.  I have tried moving the credits across, but as there were more than 1000 episodes, IMDb no longer allows it.  I painstakingly moved across a large number individually, but am still having trouble getting the rest across using Name Split.

Confirmation of the actor's death is here - and his marriage to Erica Rogers is already listed on IMDb - but I cannot find the death date anywhere:  PressReader.com - Digital Newspaper & Magazine Subscriptions

Hi @Vande -

Thanks for reporting, I'll keep an eye on this post (or tag me) when we find the correct date so I can move the credits that don't belong to a separate page or delete if they are fake.

Cheers!

Hi @Bethanny​ -

Thank you.  There are pages online that confirm The Chase credits belong to the veteran producer Ian Hamilton (II)
eg - Ian Hamilton - Talking Heads Voices

Hopefully somebody on here has access to some records which can find the date for Ian Hamilton (I)

Hi @Bethanny -

Please move the remaining The Chase credits across from the late Ian Hamilton (I) to Ian Hamilton (II).  I have tried to do it several different ways but it is not working.

@Vande​ Hi! Do you mean it's not working as in you can't submit? Or it has not been accepted?

Thanks!

@Bethanny​ Hi!  Both!  Sometimes I can't submit because it is over 1000 credits, sometimes because the load is just too much for it to read, and then even when I do get it through nothing happens!
And yet the episodes I moved across individually did work.
That's why I think only a member of staff can achieve this.

Hi @Vande​ -

My apologies for the late reply.  I have now bulk moved all the Director episode credits for "The Chase Australia" to the page for "Ian Hamilton (II)", he changes should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
