Death of Bob Warth
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 8th, 2005
The Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained was founded by Ivan T. Sanderson. Sanderson created the society to further his research interests and writings of Forteana, from Abominable Snowmen reports to out-of-place objects. SITU’s journal was Pursuit, and the editor from 1980 onward was Bob Warth. I’ve been informed, indirectly from his wife, via former SITU member Bob Durant that Warth died on Halloween, October 31, 2005.
Bob Warth died from a hemorrhage secondary to undiagnosed colon cancer. Warth was a long-time supporter of Fortean thought, and counted among his many friends, old line SITUers, as well as individuals such as Uri Geller.
Bob’s effort to try to rejuvenate the journal Pursuit in 1995 were unsuccessful, although many of us old guard of the SITU were behind his efforts.
Thoughts and prayers to his wife Nancy.
