A few versions of that overview were not incorrect, there actually was another Dave Barry who did die at the time mentioned. Why does this Dave Barry believe he has more of a right to be the one pointed to for the query "What happened to him" when nothing has happened to him but something most certainly did happen to the other Dave Barry (death)?

Because the details about the activist Dave Barry appeared in a subsection about comedian Dave Barry with the title "What happened to Dave Barry," that's why. Any human encountering the information would have been in the context of the comedian, which the model forgot, in a subsection.

That's why this Dave Barry has a right. It's a subsection.

It'd be like opening Dave Barry (comedian) on Wikipedia and halfway through the article in a subsection it starts detailing the death of a different Dave Barry.
