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.

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.

I think the timing of credible sources is even worse when you have people who are not mainstream celebrities. It makes sense that Arkansas may report this first. I just needed something else than that...and the rush to update his Wikipedia (  ).
