Well, at least among a few of us, anyway. 
There was a play done back in the mid-'90s called "Octopus" that I went to see. It was based on Danny's mysterious death and how technology was becoming increasingly invasive in our lives at the time.
Here's an article about it:

One of the frustratingly mysterious details about this story (that was included in the play) was how someone dressed in a full military officer's uniform showed up at Danny's burial site and saluted the coffin before abruptly leaving. That odd detail, I believe, came from Danny's brother or a family member who was there. The mystery man left quickly before anyone could talk to him.
On edit: there was actually more to the military man story (from the Village Voice):
Even at Casolaro's funeral, the family felt engulfed by mysteries. As his mother, brothers, sisters and close friends watched from beneath a canopy, a man in a tan raincoat and a beribboned black soldier in Army dress uniform walked up to the casket. The soldier laid a medal on the lid, saluted and both men quickly walked away. No one recognized either man; Danny had never served in or covered the military. The medal was buried with the coffin.

It's been a while since I've read the details. In the play, I think they only had one guy in a uniform salute the coffin. The image stuck in my memory, I guess.
