Rock Legend Tom Petty Dies Clings to Life?

Update:

TMZ now reporting Tom Petty still alive. There was never an official confirmation of his death. “He's still clinging to life”

(1/2)The LAPD has no information about the passing of singer Tom Petty. Initial information was inadvertantly provided to some media sources

He had a heart attack last night and was discovered unconscious. At the hospital, he was found to have no brain activity. The decision was made to end life support, and it was just announced that he had been pronounced dead at 66 -- pretty young, nowadays. (Update: Maybe not yet, though it could just be that people are not allowed, by privacy laws, to comment yet.)

Couple of his songs: Don't Do Me Like That, and what I think is in the top 20 of all rock-n-roll songs of all time.
