Yeah it's only on Twitter at the moment, can't find a single reputable source that's confirmed it. Last I heard he was stable and improving. Hope that's the case.

I didn't think he was even that old.

An early departure.

hoax

Wikipedia now has him down as passing away, but nowhere else reliable. ....

CharltonMadrid

Bizarre if this is accurate and not being reported widely and very bizarre if it is a hoax. I saw it on a Liverpool Facebook page so possibly not a reliable source.

To be fair to the OP, I think the intentions were good. While I'm not saying you should believe everything on social media, I'd venture a guess that on average, when you look at death announcements that trend on places like Twitter they're far more often accurate than they are hoaxes.

That said, always good to check sources.

Credit to @CharltonMadrid for putting his hand up and saying source might not reliable.

Needn't be a hoax. Could simply be a misunderstanding or miscommunication. I hope so.
