Ulitzer95 11,769 Posted October 26, 2022 The Independent link reporting him dead is still live. Probably because they’re so far in the shitter financially that they need the clicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think just as many people would click the link to hear about the false report of his death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,438 Posted October 26, 2022 Just now, When The said: wait if he isn't dead why does the main deathlist say he's dead Probably to wait for certain confirmation because it seems "journalists" don't know what is going on either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracy 2,202 Posted October 26, 2022 Variety checks in, with a comment from his representative: Quote “He’s alive. TMZ reported erroneously off of a bullshit anonymous tip,” Lewis’ rep told Variety. I like that the Variety writer even comments that saying he's "alive and well" would be a stretch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustPassingThrough 148 Posted October 26, 2022 The Tony Dow situation earlier this year was far more understandable, because it was a statement directly from his team that misreported him as dead. This was just really shoddy stuff from all the outlets that picked up on it. TMZ is usually right on this but that's no excuse to just use them as the source instead of getting direct confirmation from a spokesperson. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 601 Posted October 27, 2022 32 minutes ago, Octopus of Odstock said: She also mentions he is at home, not in hospital. This is actually an important point. Many people when they are close to dying, decide to return home to spend their last days because it's what they want. My own great grandfather did the same thing as well. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many people when they are close to dying, decide to return home to spend their last days because it's what they want. My own great grandfather did the same thing as well. Important points, both. We never got to the bottom of if those “home from the hospital” pics just before the TMZ obit release were new/legit or not. I have not seen anything else from JLL social media. The statement issued by his representatives doesn’t offer the usual “read between the lines” statements like asking for privacy or resting comfortably, just shot down the TMZ report. Not a game of Telephone, just a hoax. Maybe he dies before I finish typing this post, but I’m suspicious this won’t be resolved imminently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,789 Posted October 27, 2022 I could see it being like George Boscawen, who coincidentally died days after a Wiki death hoax. JLL's tank seems low even by his standards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
