It'll be more awkward when the news doesn't break instantly and Rock posts a yes after he's already been dead.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Blore His death caused an unexpected stir. The British critic Kenneth Tynan, writing for The New Yorker, had recently made a mistaken reference to "the late Eric Blore", and this error passed by the normally vigilant checking department. When Blores lawyer demanded a retraction, the editor had no choice other than to refer this demand to Tynan, pointing out in a fury that this was the first retraction ever to appear in that uniquely authoritative magazine. In disgrace, Tynan prepared a major apology, to appear prominently in the next issue. On the eve of publication, when the edition was printed and ready for delivery, Blore died. So next morning, the daily papers announced Blores death, while The New Yorker apologised for any insult to Mr. Blores feelings through their erroneous report of his demise. --- darkx ...
