The title of this article is a bit of a misnomer - the death is currently treated in seven words. There is quite a lot of detail at Lavrentiy Beria#Stalin's death most of which could be copied here? Beria claimed to have killed him. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:25, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
Currently says "two days after the stroke and one day before the death. .. Mar 04 1953" and "one day after the stroke and 7 hours before he died. .. Mar 05 1953" which implies the stroke was on 2nd May and 4th May! Should the first be two days after falling ill? Lovingboth (talk) 19:54, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
It also says he had a severe stroke in 1953 and died 24 hours later... but earlier it says he died in 1955. Which is it? I know in many Communist nations they often obfuscate and delay announcing the passing of a "beloved" leader for days or weeks, but is this a boo-boo or are we implying they didn't tell the public about Stalin's death for two got-dang years? --2604:2D80:4F81:8A00:8C1A:A41D:1C25:EA89 (talk) 17:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
If we can't add info on Stalin's death, should we just remove that word from the title. Benica11 (talk) 00:48, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

”On the day of the funeral, hundreds or thousands of Soviet citizens visiting the capital to pay their respects died in a human crush.[1][2]”
This CANNOT be right, one of the sources point to a vanity fair article regarding Mecca that does not even mention Stalin’s death.

Request to add a fourth paragraph under Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin#Illness and death:
At 6:00 a.m. on 6 March 1953, Yuri Levitan made the announcement to the Soviet population on Radio Moscow:
'The Central Committee of the Communist party, the Council of Ministers and the Praesidium of the Supreme Soviet of the U.S.S.R. announce with deep grief to the party and all workers that on March 5 at 9.50 p.m., Josef Vissarionovich Stalin, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist party and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, died after a serious illness. The heart of the collaborator and follower of the genius of Lenin's work, the wise leader and teacher of the Communist party and of the Soviet people, stopped beating.'

In the second paragraph of the funeral service, the following is claimed.
Khrushchev later provided an estimate that 109 people died in the crowd, although the real number of deaths may have been in the thousands.[1]
While the source that is cited does support the claim that 109 died, there is no reason to believe that "the real number of deaths may have been in the thousands". This is an absurd claim, one not supported by the source nor any other writings about the funeral. I would like the segment which makes the unfounded claim removed.
