Undead In Ohio 156 Posted October 26, 2022 21 minutes ago, Toast said: Deaths like Tom Petty are not really a case of misreporting. He died, they attempted to bring him back but were eventually unsuccessful. There are also cases like Anne Heche where she had unsurvivable injuries but was kept technically alive to enable organ donation. Petty was still alive when his death was reported. “We apologise for any inconvenience in this reporting,” it said. CBS and Variety amended their stories and CBS News maintained it “reported information obtained officially from the LAPD about Tom Petty”. CBS and Variety then cited TMZ reporting that said Petty was “clinging to life” after suffering cardiac arrest. https://web.archive.org/web/20171003234241/http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/how-confusion-spread-over-news-of-tom-pettys-death/news-story/c07ec7cd7d255b5e698c5e90be90f92c 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Clinging to life" means he was on life support. He was "unresponsive" when found, which usually means dead. Modern medical procedures mean they can get hearts beating again, but if it's unsustainable it doesn't mean the person is alive in real terms. I think the definitions of death vary in some states, is that so? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKeysOfMarinus 392 Posted October 27, 2022 Didn't the BBC report Brian Matthew as dead a few days early? I feel like Jerry Lee may turn out to be a similar deal to that one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,079 Posted October 27, 2022 Wouldn’t be surprised if Jerry Lee Lewis turns out to be the 12th hit and if someone unexpected like Desmond Morris or Cleo Laine die before him 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bet is he will be one of this list’s last standing candidates. But yes, someone entirely unexpected, like Alan Greenspan or Sandy Gall could very well beat Jerry to the cut. I also still have that feeling that this is Leslie’s month... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
