Actually Lewis of Duckworth/Lewis also died recently which will add to the confusion. Even his Wikipedia has got confused with 2 death dates.

. Anthony John Lewis MBE (25 February 1942 – 15 March 2020)[1] was a mathematician who, along with Frank Duckworth, developed the Duckworth–Lewis method of resetting targets in interrupted limited-overs cricket matches.[2][3] ....
Lewis was born in Bolton, Lancashire. He attended Kirkham Grammar School and graduated from Sheffield University with a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.[4] In January 2008, he retired as a lecturer in Quantitative Research Methods from Oxford Brookes University. He was formerly a lecturer at the University of the West of England where the Duckworth–Lewis method originated from an undergraduate final-year project. He was also a former chairman of the Western Operational Research Discussion Society[citation needed] and was a keynote speaker at the Second IMA International Conference on Mathematics in Sport in 2009.[4]

Lewis was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours.[5]

Lewis died on 1 April 2020, aged 78
