For all the wrong reasons, Swayze had been the hottest topics on cyberspace early on 19^th. Rumors of Patrick Swayze loosing his public battle with Pancreatic cancer spread like wildfire through Twitter on 19^th. The confusion began when traditional media got it wrong and Jacksonville, Florida radio station sent an instant message on a well known Twitter site announcing that the 56-year old Dirty Dancing star passed away. This even led to Swayze’s Wikipedia page being updated wrongly.

The publicist of Swayze, Annett Wolf however was quick to release a statement in response to the false news given by Twitter. “This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Fla. Patrick Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment.”

People should have taken care to get confirmation before circulating such a serious news as death! They seem like vultures who are waiting to see when someone dies and feel happy they are the first to report someone’s death. Poor Patrick, he’s very much alive. The dude is gaining popularity through the exaggerated news of his health and this isn’t the first time.
