Owen McCarron died in 2005. A productive storyteller and historian, McCarron was spotted just days before his death at his local library, hard at work on his next project. On December 6, 2017, twelve years after his death, the Halifax Herald published a cartoon he had drawn in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion.Owen McCarrron, "100 Years Ago Today", Halifax Herald, December 6, 2017 (Special Section: The Explosion: 100 Years Later, p. 12)
