Not that his death was reported anywhere in print except for The Tennessean, which august organ is no longer running the story. Also worth noting that he's no longer dead according to Wiki. Looks like a hoax, folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted January 22, 2008 In the midst of all the is Slim Whitman dead or not palaver, the DDP has had another of it's candidates drop. Although the Guardian (as usual, bless them) have f**ked up the age of the person & the date they died - more reliable sources have confirmed it was a death on the 21st January 2008. The hit.... well, it's another hit for... TMIB! Peggy Jay By the way, the only thing reporting Whitman's death is this but if you read the comments underneath, the contributor got the info from Who's Dead & Who's Alive, who get their info from.... Wikipedia. Although Find A Grave have him dead, along with two virtual floral wreaths, I suspect he is still alive & someone perhaps misheard a tribute for his birthday & thought that he was dead, I suspect.

The hit.... well, it's another hit for... TMIB! Peggy Jay Since when did obituaries get written in the first person? Near the end it turns into the Illtyd Harrington story. Given this and the basic factual errors noted by Triple O, The Guardian should change its name to "The Gutter". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
