BREAKING: Chris Reeves / Superman - Dead??!!

His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry.

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.

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


sorry

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."

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.
