In the last ten years, Jed Marum included, in his tour itinerary,
a performance at the coffeehouse of the Canton, Massachusetts, public library.

This is significant as it was his first Canton appearance,
and, as "Wicked Local Canton" notices observed,
"Marum grew up in Canton and attended Gridley, Hemenway, Canton Junior High, and Canton High Schools."
According to the very short soundbite there (dating back to 2011),
Jed Marum had moved to Texas by the time he began
making music on a professional basis.

I have made several searches online
for anything in Massachusetts
that carries notice of Jed Marum's passing. The searches have met with failure,
although I have searched:
boston.com
the Boston Globe
Fall River's newspaper, the Herald News
the Wicked Local regional sites (Massachusetts)
