Love how people fact-check before retweeting/re-posting news they receive!

Dredging this up again is painful for his family, friends, fans and colleagues.

Morph was asked to comment on social media regurgitating news of the death of his much loved boss, but was rendered speechless.

The fact is correct, it's the date that's the problem.

Other people also dead...

This reminds me of all the Thatchers dead threads we had- only difference was she was not dead at the time.

I got caught by that - did you perchance pick it up from the Guardian daily news digest newsletter. I was on the point of telling Mrs. P. when I had a sudden thought and checked.

Often wonder how many people need to look something up to promote it to a "top story" - happens quite a bit on the BBC website when old items reappear in the "Most Popular" column for no apparent reason. Perhaps they do it delibaretely to catch people out?

No, a friend posted it on her facebook timeline and it came up on my wall. They might have picked it up from the Guardian daily news digest newsletter though

Next you'll be suggesting that 'Lady' Diana has succumbed to a road traffic accident within a tunnel in France.

Ridiculous. There's more chance of her dating a Muslim!

I notice that sometimes there is a note under the link when it's an old story, but it definitely doesn't happen every time an old story is bumped.
