Hi diego,

fpr dearby deadpool you would only win points for her death if one of the major UK news sources would mention her death (like BBC, The Guardian, Daily Mail,...).

At the moment only local news sorces from Brazil are reporting her death. But its quite possible that the UK-media will also publish an obituary in the next days, lets see.

Oi diego,

fpr dearby deadpool você só ganharia pontos por sua morte se uma das principais fontes de notícias do Reino Unido mencionasse sua morte (como BBC, The Guardian, Daily Mail,...).

No momento, apenas noticiários locais do Brasil estão relatando sua morte. Mas é bem possível que a mídia do Reino Unido também publique um obituário nos próximos dias, vamos ver.

Since its a good rule of thumb that if McKenzie said it then it's probably a lie, I think it's probably safe to give Petrie the credit.
