NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 is that fake or something? Why is the resolution and screen size so fucked up, and why is there a bunch of "x's" marking stuff out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The obituary is premade in advance - but it's next in line in their news cache after Reeve's death. Reeve's write-up looked just like this an hour ago.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 I tend to agree, no way two major celebs have died on the same night. Although she was battling cancer but no way is this true. Those X's are making me think this is fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The obituary is premade in advance - but it's next in line in their news cache after Reeve's death.

MrRant 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 Hmm... could she really have died on her birthday? Since it's 10/10/52? Freaky if true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 11, 2004 Ozzy actually outlived her...amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 Notice the only thing that is missing are dates. Odd if they prepare obituaries in advance.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 I thought maybe abcnews just had all their obits lined up....but after the Osbourne story it goes to stuff about the Robert Blake trial... Im waiting for some serious confirmation on this one though...little too hard to believe that this night is this bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 11, 2004 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=101123&page=1 There's the Reeve article when it was first posted, complete with X's in key info areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 I know for a fact that some websites do prepare an obituary in advance for celebrities that look to be getting close to dying. With that being said, a pre-written obituary for Sharon Osbourne doesn't seem to make much sense. Still, I don't think she's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 11, 2004 Actually a pre-written obit for her does make sense, seeing as how she is battling cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Woolery 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 They do pre-made obituaries for just about everyone, from what I understand, and it's not like Sharon wasn't in a lot of newsbits over the past couple of years. Still, if it is a mistake, one has to wonder how they made it. R isn't too close to O when it comes to alphabetizing, and ditto C to S. That's the main reason I think it's legit... you don't accidentally select to upload "creeve.html" and "sosborne.html" at the same time. Rest in peace.

Guest CronoT Report post Posted October 11, 2004 Okay, I've checked CBS and NBC news sites, and they have nothing on Sharon Osbourne being dead. [EDIT]-I also checked CNN.com and the Fox News Channel website. Nothing on Sharon Osbourne having passed away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2004 Well, she WAS battling cancer. As far as I know, she had gotten completely rid of it and wasn't really suffering any ill effects because of it. If you're going to have a pre-written obituary for a celebrity, there just seems like there would be WAY more sensical people than Sharon Osbourne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 11, 2004 They didn't report on Reeve for awhile either. ABC's site isn't showing this as a new headline, so it must be pretty fresh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
