This account repeatedly gives Henri Zay's death date as November 20, 1927, at age fifty-seven, following a severe cold and heart attack.
Adjudication: The source's own narrative repeatedly and consistently states Henri Zay died November 20, 1927 (age 57, after a cold and heart attack), while the single 'Nov. 2' figure comes from a quoted NYT letter-to-editor line that conflicts with the same article's surrounding text -- plausibly an OCR/transcription slip for '20'. Internal consistency favors Nov 20, but since both figures derive from the same underlying source, a human should verify against the original NYT clipping.
