== Warhol's year of death: caption says 1987, body text implies 1988 ==

The article gives two irreconcilable years for Andy Warhol's death.

The image caption in the "Early years in New York City" section states: ''"This prop trunk … is where the copy of the 'Up Your Ass' script Solanas gave Warhol was eventually found '''after Warhol's death in 1987'''."''

The "Popular culture" subsection of "Legacy" states: ''"Reed believed Solanas was to blame for Warhol's death from a gallbladder infection '''twenty years after she shot him'''."''

The shooting is established throughout the article as occurring on 3 June 1968. "Twenty years after" 1968 is 1988 — not 1987. The two claims therefore contradict each other: the caption gives 1987, while the body text's arithmetic yields 1988.

One of these must be wrong. The date should be verified and both occurrences corrected to match. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 06:24, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
