Somebody should call the hospital. Policlinica Del Rosario: 0034 971 301 916 Why? The guy who originally posted it admitted it was just a joke. His "retraction" is quoted on page 1 of this thread. I think they meant that someone should call the hospital for the LOSER who started the post.

"No lasting harm was done".... Well... it got a lot more out of hand than most people realise. Someone didn't have a mobile phone charger on Monday, this someone doesn't have a landline in their house.... They received messages of condolence on their MySpace. I'm not saying who that someone is, but it led to a lot of distress. One of his kids? shit, that would freak me the f___ out.

According to one of the posters at the Lizard King board, this is from Popbeeaatch, I guess it's in their weekly celebrity gossip email?:
">> Save a prayer << Andy Taylor is not dead
The internet is not the best place to try an April Fool. A Duran Duran fan wrote a spoof story that Andy Taylor had suffered a heart attack in Ibiza. Word spread across the net, and people eventually started putting condolence messages on Andy's daughter's MySpace page. 20 year-old Georgia had lost her mobile phone charger so couldn't call her Dad to check. Luckily she finally emailed someone for news who was able to point out it was 1st April.
FYI: Andy's autobiography Wild Boy comes out this year."

...I wondered if SB's earlier post referred to one of Andy's kids. How sad and pathetic that some people think this sort of joke might be funny.

Well, I have to say the people who sent messages were mainly non-English speakers who didn't grasp it was a "joke"...
