this subject heading as "Tony Just  Died""

Well, yes, the preterite IS confusing. 


Wiki has a link:
 
Nelson, Valerie, J. _Tony Judt dies at 62; leading historian of  postwar 
Europe_ 
(http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-judt-20100808,0,7718214.story) . 
- _Los  Angeles Times_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times)

In a way, that is a better title, in that it's less likely to be read  as 
"Tony Just Dies".
