Why did the Guardian take down an online obituary to the sociologist Brian Taylor, without telling readers?
In November 2016, the Guardian published a celebratory obituary, online, of the Sussex University sociologist Brian Taylor, who had died aged 66. In May 2017 the newspaper took it down, but did not explain the decision to readers. They were left in the dark.
