I don't trust Fox a whole hell of a lot when it comes to news. If other carriers start picking up the story I might lend it some credibility.

The fox story references myfoxtampa.com and I don't see anything on their site.

Here's a link to the hoax story I referenced earlier.

My thoughts too. He came a long way... RIP

Another taken far too soon. I wonder if that head bump he got on the plane might have anything to do with it- kinda like that actress that recently passed after the ski accident.

On the other hand, the whereabouts of the Shamwow guy are unkown.......

They are reporting he actually had advamced heart disease. It was only a matter of time. No apparent head injury.

My thoughts exactly. May have had a subdural hematoma that was unnoticed. I heard on the news that he wasn't feeling well after the head injury. PLEASE get checked out by a physician after any head injury, inmates, but especially if you or your family member notices anything "Different" about you!

blugill · 06-28-2009, 10:00 AM

I remember when the Ford hoax came out.
I also believe Tom Cruise was a hoax death victim as well.

The fox link added some details. It says he was on the flight that had some issues in Tampa yesterday. Maybe that caused some stress. RIP...

(nods apologetically to blugill)

TV just ran a crawl with this story. Wow 4 in one week.

Don't apologize, wish it was bad information. I'd gladly be wrong on a forum and post bad information if he were alive, well, and doing his show.
