^ Is it true though? I am reading on the computer that it's true but the news channel I am watching is saying he's in the hospital.

According to radio he was dead when they got to him.. and he still is.

We still don't have confirmation yet, but TMZ is reporting that it's true. Fox News is going with the story even though no one other than TMZ is reporting his death.
We do have confirmation that he was not breathing when Angeles Fire Department paramedics rushed him to the UCLA Medical Center & they had to perform CPR.

But he always claimed to be jesus.. maybe he'll come back to life - and this will all have been a publicity stunt.

Fox News... going with unconfirmed stories. Never!

For UK users, read that as "Sky News... going with unconfirmed stories. Never!"


The British channels are reporting that he's been reported (by TMZ) to have died.


"Nononono, no, no! He's resting!"
