Dana Carvey, i remember hearing that he underwent heart surgery and DIED on the operating table. The news ran a biopic on him and i remember Headline News and some other station running the story as well as " a look back" on his acting career. Even my dad saw this , he was the one who called me to turn on the news. A few months ago i find out not only was he alive BUT he also survived the surgery.

This one, at least, is explicable. Primatologist Dian Fossey was killed amongst the gorillas in 1985, and there were stories the gorillas had killed her, though she was actually murdered by poachers.

I also remember hearing that Billy Graham had died but he too is alive.
Am I alone in this? Or is something weird going on?

Just so you know I do not think that his is only happening to celebrities. They just get noticed more. A man that I remembering dieing walked into the shop the other day. I remembered when he died because that was all my boss and co-workers talked about that day. I felt left out because I did not know him as well as they did. The he walks into the shop and they all start talking to him as if nothing had ever happened. It was a little upsetting to say the least.
So I wonder how many common people this is happening to but few if any are talking about it.
