The confusion started with CBS News and the Los Angeles Police Department. CBS published Petty's obituary after tweeting that the LAPD had confirmed his death. The trade paper Variety followed, citing an unnamed source confirming the rocker's death.

Did he die? brush Oct 2017 #3

He is in very grave condition, and it doesn't look good, but it would be very nice if somehow he was still_one Oct 2017 #5

Didn't this originate with LAPD?? SHRED Oct 2017 #6

Yes, and it's said that he was/is brain dead and was/is on life support. I'm guessing the life anneboleyn Oct 2017 #15

Yes -- his wife's 911 call is online too (she didn't know how to do cpr). Tmz and Reddit were anneboleyn Oct 2017 #18

Sounds like one of those awful situations JenniferJuniper Oct 2017 #8

Sorry, sounds like a Trump rant. Atman Oct 2017 #11

Did you read what she wrote? Blue_true Oct 2017 #16

I know. The story was broken by the LAPD and then Reddit, tmz, twitter etc picked up on that -- RS anneboleyn Oct 2017 #17

And RS did try to get confirmation TexasBushwhacker Oct 2017 #28

I understand she is under a tremendous amount of stress Skittles Oct 2017 #13

Yes. It was. But I understand. Blue_true Oct 2017 #19

not sure why she's picking solely on one magazine Skittles Oct 2017 #26

His daughter is likely stressed. Blue_true Oct 2017 #33

I agree. In a day that has been full of confusion and sadness, it just seems classless Grammy23 Oct 2017 #20

For the record, she's 35 n/t TexasBushwhacker Oct 2017 #25

I'd tell the media I'd shit down their throats bathroommonkey76 Oct 2017 #22

Nice. sarcasmo Oct 2017 #21

People can judge her after THEIR loved one is reported dead in the media without confirmation. Coventina Oct 2017 #23

it was widely reported Skittles Oct 2017 #27

Probably because it's a music magazine, and should probably make doubley sure Coventina Oct 2017 #30

I'm betting there's another reason she hates RS Skittles Oct 2017 #32

Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to sit in judgment. Coventina Oct 2017 #34

they tried to get confirmation Skittles Oct 2017 #35

"Trying" doesn't cut it in journalism. n/t Coventina Oct 2017 #39

Tom Petty was born a few miles from where I was born and live. Blue_true Oct 2017 #36
