Death of Marc Yor

Does anyone have more information ? I've seen very little.A number of people were shocked by his death. When anyone dies suddenly and so young people want to have a better idea what happened---I guess partly as a question of our own mortality.

Journal indexed ?

No. I just ran across the journal in our library and one issue had three finance articles.I index all the quantitative finance articles I find and thought I could find the listing online rather than going through all the paper volumes.
