There is a link at TNF confirming the sad news. It was no secret he had been unwell for some time.
RIP Frank de Jong.

That is tragic, his website is invaluable as a touring car history resource and 59 is not a particularly old age to die at these days. Hopefully the site is at least preserved for the future.
