Confirmed from multiple sources, including a personal e-mail from his family. I stumbled upon it on /tg/, who referred me to here:

For those of you not into the role-playing scene, Arneson was Gary Gygax's partner-in-crime on Dungeons and Dragons. -

I guess now he and Mr. Gygax can DM together again in the after, whatever that may be.
