Sinbad is Dead-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: TruthOrFiction.com has gotten
several inquiries about whether Sinbad has died.
The Truth: This story is a hoax.
Sinbad is alive and well and looking forward to several appearance dates
that are on his calendar.
The story of his demise started circulating on the Internet on a large scale on March 14 and
15, 2007.
The only source for this was a posting on Wikipedia.com, which is a site that depends on volunteer
contributors for information. That story claimed that Sinbad, whose
real name is David Atkins, died of a heart attack on March 14, 2007.
A spokesperson for Wikipedia said that the alteration of the story had
been unauthorized and that they were looking into whether they could
identify who did it.
