Especially in the wake of the James Earl Jones hoax erlier this week.
Wikipedia lists today as his time of death.
Twitter has this:
Wayne has left his body, passing away through the night. He always said he couldn't wait for this next adventure to begin and had no fear of dying. Our hearts are broken, but we smile to think of how much our scurvy elephant will enjoy the other side.

If you have a legitimate news link, I'd appreciate it. I know he was / is a controversial figure but I enjoyed his works.

So until I see a legitimate news item, that's what I'm thinking about this "announcement."

Dr. Wayne Dyer, the self-help guru whose best-seller "Your Erroneous Zones" was adopted by millions as a guide to better living, has died at 75, his family and publisher said Sunday.
Dyer died Saturday night in Maui, Hawaii, said Reid Tracy, chief executive of Dyer's publisher, Hay House. The cause of death wasn't immediately reported.
Dyer was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2009 but claimed to have treated it with positive thinking, daily exercise and "psychic surgery" performed remotely by the Brazilian medium João Teixeira de Faria, better known as "John of God." He detailed the controversial treatment in a two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey for whom he was a friend and frequent guest for more than 30 years in 2012.
