When did frank morris die?

That is one of life's mysteries. All we do know is that Morris, a career criminal, escaped from Alcatraz prison in 1962. Such an escape was dangerous, and also rarely successful; but in Morris's case, he was never seen again, nor was his body recovered. (Note that some people have claimed to see him since 1962, and various TV shows have advanced a number of unproven theories, but at this point, we still do not know with certainty what happened to him.)
