Any news as I'm thinking this will have been released in the States before we get it? Hopefully it will be false but I suspect, sadly, it's not.

It worked for me.

I can't believe it though....

Perhaps it's not true? I was hoping that there may have been more news your side of the pond, we tend only to get stories about more well known 'celebrities' in mainstream media.

We've got a mainstream media report now. The NY Daily News is reporting his death. :(

Wikipedia lists it as complications from a heart attack, but other than the month and year, the exact date of his death is listed as unknown.

They seem to have pulled the story. None of the reports have any confirmation from police, hospital, coroner, anything the like. All state "reportedly" but have no source to report.

I'm still hoping it's not true.

Fingers crossed thats it's not true! You'd think though that someone connected to him would make some sort of statement especially if it's not true.

Thanks Bro! Being someone who knows it's a hard road to change ones life for the better. I know his struggle and hope he finds his calling.

I'm sure we're all glad to hear that it was BS.

Considering all the recent deaths in the media, I hope this stemmed from a mistake, and not a tasteless joke.
