Correction:  Bill Gates is said not to be dead, per the following comment.

Ben:
I live next door to Microsoft.  A member of my family has
been with Microsoft since its first year.
Bill Gates is not dead.
Please.

I was told by secret society sources that Gates had been eliminated after making veiled threats to kill 30 million people with a “flu pandemic.”  If he is still alive, I want to see him appear before a large audience with multiple cameras.
