I think that In French the term " disparu", which, means also disappeared, is also used as ad euphemism for deceased of the same nature of the verb " to pass away" ( he was born in 1858 and " disappeared" in 1941, which is a good age to " pass away" ).
So probably this is due to bad literal translation of French texts.

Many prominent and non prominent people alike belonging to several discriminated ethnical, of different sexual orientation, religious groups, handicapped or political activists were deported and killed by the nazis occupying France and by their allied the French of republic of Vichy ,very true , but in general, deportations in France begun in 1942. To my knowledge Henri Selmer didn't belong to any of these groups and died of old age at the age of 83.
