Actually some are saying untrue but some news channels reckon it's true. Probably confirmed by morning if someone could verify: off to bed for me

Soul Tracks says he has died . . . .

But not many other US news sources are reporting it yet. As his son is the famous actor as well, I would think all the celeb outlets would be straight on this story.
