FW: Steve Jobs passing away

[Robert E. Seastrom]

Most news outlets have "Joe Shmoe passes away" stories ready to go for
various famous people and update them on a regular basis so that they
don't have to pull one out of thin air on short notice.

The funny part is when one of them gets released and the subject of
the story is still alive.

Those in our midst with close mass media ties can probably point us to
a few examples.
