I am planning on creating as many articles about 1990's road racers as possible on the Swedish Wikipedia, but when I was going to create the article about Juan Manuel López Mella, all I find was that he perished on May 10 1995, but nowhere on Google could I find at which track he died, and what happened. That no language has a Wikipedia article about him do not help matters either, and it puzzles me that 500 cc drivers of the 1990's aren't covered on English Wikipedia Could anyone help me out?
I also got mighily confues by Forix and Wikipedia clashing on whether fellow 500 cc racer Marco Papa is alive or not. Wikipedia has a note on him being a living person, while Forix tells me that he died on September 8 1999 at Vallelunga. Does anyone know if he is indeed dead, and what happened when he perished?

You might find that the guys on the Motorcycle Racing Nostalgia board would know a bit more - perhaps this thread should be moved.
