Tom Petty was preemptively reported dead at the age of 66 tonight by CBS News. News of Petty’s death has since been confirmed by his manager. For hours, it was unclear whether or not that report was true. On Sunday night, Petty went into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital. Pitchfork previously reported that he was pronounced dead Monday afternoon based on CBS News’ report, which learned of his death from the LAPD. The LAPD later tweeted that they had “no information” regarding Petty’s death and noted that “initial information was inadvertantly provided to some media sources.” TMZ claimed that he was “not expected to live throughout the day.”
