and a good example of why people should show some patience and not retweet/echo these reports until they get the real info.

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.

The way it would work then is this: A member newspaper of the AP/UPI or those bureaus themselves would run a "breaking news" story at which all the other papers would feel free to use it with an AP byline. Whether it was true or not.
AP is shredded now, so places are sourcing from whoever says so (in this case TMZ followed by ABC News).
But the days when papers actually did their own journalism for everything? Prior to AP/UPI and most of our lifetimes.

Yesterday will be one of those times I will always remember what I was doing and where I was when i heard the news.
