Hi folks I'm just sending out a group email to let you know that the reports
of Forrest J Ackerman's death which are currently circulating are incorrect.
Here's the facts: Mr Ackerman is suffering from congestive heart failure and
pneumonia and has elected not to undergo any further treatment or medication.
He is resting comfortably at home surrounded by close friends and is lucid
though weak. He is not deceased. An erroneous report earlier today on the
British Fantasy Society website has now been picked up by both Wikipedia and,
worse yet, Locus Online which has posted an obituary. Nobody seems to bother to
check sources anymore. Corrections have been sent out to all concerned (the
wiki entry has been amended) but of course neither the BFS site nor Locus has
been amended as yet. Can I respectfully ask that people wait for official
notification of Forry's condition from his people before publishing any
premature reports of his shuffling off this mortal coil.
