This is what everybody was talking about.
That report was from ABC News, and it came over the Pro Bowl broadcast on ESPN as well. It was qualified as not a definite.
Journalistically, the same mistake would have been made in 1984.
With all disasters and untimely deaths of famous people (or people thrust into the limelight), rumors and inaccurate info happen. However, it can be days or weeks before authorities might release info without this pressure.
