ClaudeBot: Fix semantic date-template misuse: death_date field used {{birth date}}, which tags a death as a bday microformat -> switched to {{death date}} (same parameters)

John G. Fox's 1962 optical experiment remains a challenge to conventional thinking on relativity. He spent most of his career as a research physicist at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Philadelphia. According to [http://www.prola.org/ http://www.prola.org/], his 1937 and 1939 papers were written from the University of Sasketoon, Canada, so he might have been a native Canadian. According to Bob Fritzius, John G. Fox died around 1976, though it's not certain that the John Fox born in 1887 is the same man. Would expect John G. Fox to have been born after 1900.
