There isn't anything offensive or inappropriate about the question. It doesn't delve into anyone's personal affairs. I say, let the question be asked if someone is curious. It is perfectly valid. However, I am not a moderator. So, if Kevin or Phillip feel it is inappropriate, let them close the thread down.

I don't see anything offensive about this either. I mean sometimes I have to ask if some of my favorite people in the world are still living.

Would a Muppeteer want to read about weather they're still living or not?
I think the Muppeteers would be the best people to answer the question of whether they are still alive or not.
