Unless he died in the last few hours, the rumor of his death has been floating around since he fell ill and his family has been saying no, he's very much alive, sick, but alive.

The rumor's been in my inbox, oh geesh like 6 times in the last week or more? How awful for his family to have everyone saying he's dead when he's so ill.

Apparently, this time, he DID actually die in the last few hours!
