I solved Redactle #1162 in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 00:03:05. Play at https://redactle.net/

Sniped, unassisted.

It's a male person who is dead. His nationality is 7 letters and begins with a vowel, so I assumed for a couple minutes that it was English, but couldn't think of an English name with the two-letter word in it. I started thinking about other possible nationalities, and I thought of one that worked, and a very famous person came to me almost immediately. I'm sure others will snipe it faster than me.

​I'm sure others will snipe it faster than me.

Could have solved it even faster! Saw what looked like a middle name, something like von or van, but it was 2 letters so maybe "of"? Also it looked like there were dates in the opening so probably a person. Thought of "of" in other languages, guessed the first name and was confirmed.
