Deaths in September 2018

Overview
Deaths in September 2018 is a chronological compilation of notable individuals who died during the month of September 2018. It is part of a series of monthly lists that document significant deaths worldwide, typically maintained on collaborative reference platforms such as Wikipedia. Each entry generally includes the date of death, the deceased’s name, age, country of citizenship at the time of death, primary occupation or reason for notability, and, when publicly reported, the cause of death.

Structure

• Date headings: The list is divided by calendar day (1 September, 2 September, etc.).
• Bullet‑point entries: Under each date, entries are presented in bullet form, following a consistent format:
  1. Name, age, nationality, occupation/notability – cause of death (if reported).
• References: Each entry is typically accompanied by a citation to a reliable source—such as news articles, press releases, or official statements—verifying the death.

Scope and Inclusion Criteria

• The list includes individuals who have achieved a level of public recognition sufficient for inclusion in major biographical references or who have been the subject of significant media coverage.
• It does not aim to be exhaustive of all deaths in the month; rather, it focuses on those deemed notable by editorial standards, often requiring the existence of a dedicated biographical article or equivalent documentation.

Typical Content Areas

• Politics and public service (e.g., former heads of state, legislators, diplomats)
• Arts and entertainment (actors, musicians, writers, visual artists)
• Science and academia (researchers, professors, Nobel laureates)
• Sports (athletes, coaches, sports administrators)
• Business and philanthropy (entrepreneurs, philanthropists)

Purpose and Use
The list serves as a reference for scholars, journalists, and the general public interested in recent notable deaths. It provides a consolidated record that can be used for statistical analysis of mortality among public figures, retrospective tributes, or verification of dates for biographical research.

Limitations

• The compilation depends on publicly available reports; deaths that are not reported in reliable sources may be omitted.
• Information such as cause of death is included only when disclosed by reputable outlets; otherwise, entries may note that the cause is "unspecified" or omit that detail.
