Im not trying to be funny here but if this is coming from sources like this I would think we could consider it to be true or someone would have said otherwise within the family. Just because the media doesnt have it yet means nothing. I remember when the media had Abe Vigoda dead and Carlos Santana and it was not true. I even see people on youtube saying RIP on some of his songs and I am assuming these are friends or people on Facebook. This is not like he was well and all of a sudden he had a heart attack or nothing was wrong. We do know he had been sick for along time and remember it was announced he was in intensive care so that is why I believe it. Again no offense to anyone here or anyone who has doubts about his passing but it is not like this was a sudden thing.
