Why we should really, really be careful with pronouns

Article in The Star by the editor, Wong Sai Wan.

At the end, this:

Executive editor Wong Sai Wan was kept awake for three days in Moss Side by Bob Marley's No Women No Cry when he died on May 11, 1981.

When he died?? When who died?? By this sentence alone, the most logical conclusion is when the executive editor died. But...we know that can't be it because he is still writing about the recent riots in London. So I think it was Bob Marley who died in 1981.

(This is not a rant...these mistakes happen. And I know I'm a nitpicker sometimes but I really don't blame anyone for this.)
