Is This News? Death Hoax's

Of course every time someone famous dies, and I mean really famous, there are plenty of posts and emails that get sent saying someone else dies. Is this News Worthy? I say no, if someone does not start this, then it would not get passed around. If you get and email saying someone else famous also died then do a little research, by all means you are all ready on the Internet, why not do a quick search, as it will be in the news probably in the first few pages that come up. Make sure that your source is a reputable one when reading also. Many try to spread these false rumors because when someone really famous dies, then it can over shadow others deaths. Look at poor Farrah, she died early that day, and once Michael Jackson died, he was all over the news and Farrah got pushed to the back. Easy enough to say someone else died and would be over shadowed. So when getting this information, please make sure that it is reliable, and do a little research, as fake deaths are not news worthy and should not be repeated over and over again because people do not take the time to verify their information that they are receiving.
