Dice-9 and Dice-7 appear to represent the same person because: One was an empty profile, and based upon a close birthdate, I am merging them in order to establish a connection for the profile.
Dice-9 and Dice-96 appear to represent the same person because: Same guy, see 96 for death info and link to his memorial, here is a tidbit for outsiders... Matthias is pronounced in 3 syllables NOT 2 ;)
