"War memorials can commemorate individuals as well as groups of people.Those commemorated on a war memorial can have died in action, in war time accidents and friendly fire, or can have died of wounds or diseases either during or subsequent to a conflict. War memorials can commemorate those who served during a war and survived."

"It's not clear how Archie can have died in Hong Kong whilst his unit was in Bombay, but we can speculate that he may have been captured by the Japanese whilst fighting in Burma."

I've seen you say you don't use "can have p.p." for speculation or deduction in the past . Most of you said "can have p.p." is grammatically wrong in the past affirmative. Confer this link. http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1179841
If so, could you tell me why the author used "can have died" instead of "could have died", "must have died", or "died"?
Any comments would be appreciated.
