What happend to Dr. Gero in the Trunks timeline?

I don't know if I missed anything but what happened to Dr. Gero in Trunks('/'s) future? Was he killed by 17 and 18? Did he even turn himself into an android?

Killed by 17, similar to the regular timeline.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

One of the first things Trunks tells Goku is that the androids killed Gero themselves. He actually says it was androids #19 and #20 in the original version of the manga, since it was before Toriyama had come up with #17 and #18.

I'm assuming this was changed in the Kanzenban?

IIRC it was changed in the chinese Kanzenban to #17 and #18, but the japanese version remained unchanged.
I think they should have changed to what the anime did, which apparently didn't reveal the specific production numbers and just said two androids would appear.

Changing it to #17 and #18 still has the problem, that #19 and #20 referred to themselves as #19 and #20 in front of the good guys, which wouldn't necessarily make Goku doubt, if they were the real androids, since he is good at forgetting such important details, but a guy like Piccolo should definetly pick up on it and realize that something was wrong.

In the anime Cell has a flashback to his alternate future when he's still being worked on by Gero. You see Gero getting killed by 17 then if I remember correctly.
