Is Paul "Eskimo" Clark dead or alive?

[SamGrizzleJanFisherBaby]

So tv producer, writer of one episode of the mystery files of shelby woo and poker hobbyist Matt Salsberg twitted out that the eskimo had died and that he had read his obituary. Todd Brunson replied that Eskimo had been seen at a downtown vegas casino recently. A google search for Paul Clark obituary turned up different dead Paul Clark who worked for Corning. Wikipedia notes the eskimos b day as yesterday (june second). OBV this story shows a ton of early weakness as to being true but I am still very curious. So if you know some shit, please spill the beans.

I believe he's dead. I found this:

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...Rid=145766960&

Claims he died on April 15th in Las Vegas.

It was done by someone who apparently had access to several pictures of Eskimo, including ones of him as a boy.












The guy who did the obituary is named Pat Faulkner, who has added thousands of obituaries to the site. Given Faulkner's prolific contributions to the site, I doubt this is a troll job.

RIP Eskimo

I know that Eskimo has suffered from health issues for years.

In 2007, when part of the WSOP took place in the sweltering "poker tent", Eskimo collapsed, and there was fear that he had a heart attack.

It turned out that he didn't, but clearly the guy wasn't very healthy.
