Three days and they said that they didn't know. Mehhhh... Very unusual to say the least but I can't prove foul play and I can't find any instances of cui bono.

Clearly the Nobel Committee are not all knowing.

[edit]

The Nobel powers that be have decided that since "the prize was awarded in good faith" that the prize will be awarded as announced.

So to those of you involved in Nobel calibre reasearch, make sure your family doesn't publish your obit until after the first week of October.

I thought that the Nobel Committee didn't usually allow the Nobel Prizes to be awarded posthumously. Oh well, it seems that they didn't actually know anything about his death when it was announced.
