LAPD clarifies it cannot confirm Tom Petty's death Quote Tom Petty, the rocker best known as the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is clinging to life in a Los Angeles hospital, according to TMZ. An earlier report which confirmed the singer's death, and which CBS reported, has since been clarified. CBS News reported information obtained officially from the LAPD about Tom Petty. The LAPD later said it was not in a position to confirm information about the singer and that "initial information was inadvertently provided to some media sources." In that statement, the LAPD also apologized for "any inconvenience in this reporting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimitriades confirmed Petty's death on behalf of the performer's family. He was 66. Remember, there is a difference between making fake news and issuing a retraction, which is what the LAPD did in this case. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when the late Thai monarch Rama IX passed away nearly one year ago to the day. The Wikipedia page quotes: Quote Upon the announcement of his death, all television channels suspended regular programming and simulcast special programmes from the television pool of Thailand, which consisted of monochrome videos and photos of Bhumibol, and coverage of royal events. International channels were also blacked out and replaced by this programming. Following the funeral procession on 14 October 2016, the channels continued to air the pooled tribute content until midnight local time, after which they were allowed to resume regular programming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
