Death of Sumner Redstone (8/12/20)

Sumner Redstone died on August 11, 2020.  See Wikipedia, here.  Also from Wikipedia:

After completing law school, Redstone served as special assistant to U.S. Attorney General Tom C. Clark (who later served as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1949 to 1967) and then worked for the United States Department of Justice Tax Division in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, and thereafter entered private practice.

I am not sure about that Tax Division in San Francisco, but he did work in the Tax Division.  See Tax Division Alumnus in the Tax News (DOJ Tax Division Alunni News 10/27/15), here (quoting Estate of Redstone v. Commissioner, 145 T.C. 259, 261 (2015), here).

The New York Times obituary is here.
