I don't know what "real" news sources are when it comes to people who aren't considered top celebrities.

I mentioned Wikipedia because it is really silly for someone to have made that change within the past hour. It's almost like they couldn't wait to do it. :rolleyes:

Yes, I knew him and I'm trying to contact a lot of mutual friends. Several people have heard this and no one can confirm it.

53 would be about right, he was a year or so behind me.

First, I thought he was a bit older than 53. Second, didn't Carnation know him at Arkansas? Third, what the eff?

Wow. I saw an *amazing* play of his when I lived in Little Rock. He was very well known there, and was (is?) an incredible talent. Assuming it's true, this is a big loss in my book.

I have that same bias. I had to get over it when MJ died. Real media was late.

Was he 53 or 54? Essence is saying 54.

Doesn't matter if he was 53 or 54, if he is indeed dead, he died too young.

True, but I'm curious about it. They could at least get his age right.

A mutual friend has just been told that it looked like a heart attack.

Now it's being widely reported:

Links and links

You know, when you think about it, in a twisted sense, this really goes to show how fast news can spread before it becomes 'official'.

I'm biased also. I was one of those people who refused to believe he was dead until a real media source (I think LA Times was first) confirmed it. I didn't want TMZ to be right, lol.
