Man, I just thought he would live forever. Rest in peace.

okay so I'd suggest changing the top level post URL to this URL, and not wikipedia. Seen dozens of wikipedia-edit celebrity death hoaxes in the last ten years.

It's picking up karma faster than this submission is, so this is a problem that will shortly take care of itself.
