:eek: :eek: :eek: :( :( :(

Can this thread be deleted, or at least locked, until definitive word has been released?

I don't consider Drudge the best newsperson.

Would you rather have Dan Rather and the CBS spoof team?

Apparently it's been reported on CNN and ABC News, and there's a banner on the Foxnews.com home page.

It was announced on local news teasers as well pretty soon after the time docet had posted the message, so I think it's time for us to mourn the loss of a great person of our society.

My condolences go out to his family during this difficult time.

Story is now verified.
You heard it first from the DRUDGE REPORT.

1952-2004. Rest in Peace, Christopher. A nation mourns your passing.

From Yahoo news:

"Superman" star Christopher Reeve dies

it has been reported on local and national news.....so unless CNN is not definitive enough it will most likely stand.


sorry

I am so sad:(
I have always liked Christopher Reeve and I especially admired his courage and tenacity after he suffered his injury...my prayers go out to Dana and the rest fo Reeve's family....:(

a brave, committed man, who did not let bad things bring him down.
thoughts and prayers with his family at this time.

Terrible :(

:( A terrible loss. He was such a courageous man.

Did anyone see "Noises Off"? He did a good job with a comedy role - very different from the Superman movies.

We just watched that about 2 weekends ago. Very funny!

I was waiting for CNN or Yahoo!--as much as Drudge is entertaining, I usually go for news sources that focus on straight news and not political commentary. In light of recent events in my life, I'm very wary of "news" being spread on the internet through any of Rupert Murdoch's channels.

"Sorry."

An excellent movie. Very funny. It's one of myn favourites.


How terrible. And he was so young. My thoughts go out to his family.

OMG!!!!

When I first read this I thought it was a joke.

It's amazing how I can cry over someone I have never personally met but a person who had such a great strength of character.

My heart and prayers go out to his family, friends and everyone else who is feeling this loss.
