Who is this person that would consider making up tragedies as jokes?!!? I want the streets to run with his blood!

I'm pretty much convinced it's a sick April Fool. I've done a search and got nothing. The Electric City have posted a cheerful little bulletin about a future gig today too. I doubt that would have been done if it was true.
ETA: A hospital wouldn't release that much info either. Giving such a detailed account about a patient's arteries, and what bar they were in etc. is against patient confidentiality.

One interesting observation: the report says Andy is still in the band--a common mistake made in the media, but not usually by fans--twisted sense of humor or not...

that's the most disgusting, tasteless joke they could ever play. worse than the one about John being in a car accident.... very sick.

someone did something very similar with John almost five years ago on the LK board... they then apologized eventually after all hell broke lose over there with people criticizing him or her.

If this was put out by the Associated Press where is the link to the article?
Plus I've googled different terms, the doctor's name, the DJ's name and have brought up nothing.

OK, I guess the John thing was five years ago then? I'm not sure, I thought it was last year.
In any case, I think this is the same person, and I agree that writing a plausible-sounding news story about one of the guys being gravely ill hardly qualifies as a joke in the spirit of the day. I really don't know what they were thinking!
ETA: There's a link in the original post on the LK board, but it's a Yahoo news link that leads to a 'Page Not Found' error page.
