REALLY WEIRD. That link that confirmed it was a hoax was actually referring to a hoax from Friday. So he happened to die the day after a death hoax? That's really freaky.

The New York Daily News? You mean the well know tabloid paper? Why would they EVER report this before it's 100% confirmed? The NY Daily News is not a tabloid Paper, where the  do you get your information? It's one of the biggest newspapers in NYC LOL. |

Just terrible. I'm wondering how this will effect the future of the F&F films?

The NY Daily News is not a tabloid Paper, where the do you get your information? It's one of the biggest newspapers in NYC LOL. From the fact that it is a tabloid? It follows exact standards to be considered one. It has the formatting of a tabloid and it's main competition is the New York Post, another tabloid. FYI, tabloid is a style of paper meant to use eye catching, but not often, totally correct headlines. Their covers are often sensational with big headlines as opposed to a broadsheets style of typically just headlines.  This is what tabloids look like.  This is a broadsheet. See the difference? They both have two different goals of presenting news. Tabloids, despite what you think, tend to have the style of not being correct. This is why it was picked up by lower end sites before anywhere else because they weren't willing to try and verify sources yet. That said, Variety has reported it actually adding some validity to all of this; however they are also only quoting TMZ. |

TMZ has been pretty accurate. They first reported Michael Jackson's death, I believe Amy Winehouse and others.
And from his verified Twitter account

Most people hear tabloid they think National Enquirer and such, but your definition is much closer to what a tabloid is. |

Well since this appears to be true, RIP. Pray for his family. Sad to go so young.
Never seen him in anything but F&F. I think I have seen the 1st 2 all the way through once, but I watched the 2 with the Rock and enjoyed them. Sad.

Its silly what the internet has done to us.
Even though I'm sure the bungholes at TMZ are the worst human beings on the planet, they ARE actually kinda reliable. Its just funny to me that people always jump to "HOAX" with EVERYTHING now.
RIP.

I get what he's saying. Maybe the flashy headlines make it a tabloid but the content of the paper doesn't make it a tabloid. They post factual information all be it sensational.

Total shocker right there.
Very sad. That man was a borderline legend for Fast & Furious movies alone. lol. But really, when those movies came out they were amazing. Just another famous person gone too soon. RIP
