Oh, good grief. I see what you mean, Connie. I first heard on my local news that he was on life support. A half hour or so later, I Googled "Tom Petty on life support," and every single hit on the first page said he had died. That's when I made my post, which says 5:15, but that's LB time, it was 6:15 here. Googling now, I get mostly "pulled off life support." So I don't know. Either way, my heart goes out to his loved ones.

And now Snopes has changed its article. It no longer says that he has died, and it now says at the bottom "2 October 2017, 5:04 P.M.: Edited to change headline and clarify that law enforcement inadvertently gave media the wrong information."
I hope he's okay. Maybe he's laughing about all this ....

ETA #2
But CBS News just said that he "is still clinging to life" in the hospital. Just now, at 5:24 West Coast time. How can this be so confused?!
I can only guess that maybe the family has not authorized any official announcements yet and what we heard earlier was information that was not supposed to have been given out. I feel bad for starting all of this here. Let's just wait and see before we post anything else.
ETA: We were typing at the same time. OMG, law enforcement gave out the wrong information?????? Sheesh. Seriously, I hope this was all a terrible misunderstanding and he is going to recover.
