There was an internet rumor several years ago that he had died.
The only obit item I could find without a lengthy search was this:

DM - my judgment of his fiction comes from a fairly recent rereading of both trilogies and reverses my initial opinion. I still think Illuminati is great, particularly for the ideas in it, but Schroedinger's Cat works better as a novel because everything ties up better. Plus the first book of the trilogy has one of the best endings ever in a multi-volume work (which would seem to preclude a sequel). I won't spoil it. Read the book!
