The decedent’s date of death has also been given as April 18, 2009, elsewhere.

It is the policy of the medical examiner to log the date the body was found as the date of death. It could be that it was estimated by his family or friends that he had died on April 18 perhaps based on the last date he was seen alive, but the corpse was not actually discovered until May 2.
