Original Title: TIL I learned that Marvin Gaye was killed by his father on April 1st, 1984 due to a dispute over a misplaced insurance policy letter. His death was thought to be a rumor due to it being April Fool's and was initially dismissed by friends and fans. It was one day before his 45th birthday.
