Oh dear, crossed wires after a message from a family member it seems.

Not sure what else to add.

[Lie-in King]

Ta, hc - the BBC only reported it as they'd been told, it seems.

So I guess fingers crossed, though "critically ill" obviously isn't good & my thoughts are with his family nonetheless.

[hc4361]

Yes, indeed.

[Hopkirk]

So it's not just Channel 4 News who make big errors.

[corylus]

Well done BBC, after all you sacked him and now this unforgivable mistake about his death. Shame on you.

[jno]

presumably the headlines will now read "Brian Matthews undead"?

[naomi24]

As Mark Twain said, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
