Um, didn't he die in 2023, over 2 years ago? Am I missing a joke here, or am I the only one who actually reads the date and byline of a death notice or obituary?

If I am not mistaken, this isn't the first time a poster posted the death notice of a years long dead celebrity here.

Yep, they got me again,

And I was just about to report Val Kilmer too and then I checked the date cause of this post. Something is wrong with feeds of recently deceased people popping up.

I think I will have to simply do a google search every time I see a death notice.

Thanks.

Here's hoping that's the worst of our problems.

May the cards fall in your favor.
