Wikipedia Hoax: Comedian Sinbad Is Dead
The emails started coming in early this morning, headers blaring "Sinbad, the comedian, died today, heart attack." Attached was an excerpt from the freshly-revised Wikipedia entry on the 50-year-old entertainer, born David Adkins on November 10, 1956, which contained the sentence, "He succumbed to a fatal heart attack on the morning of March, 14, 2007."
It is a hoax. The revision history of the Wikipedia article shows that it was repeatedly vandalized, corrected, and vandalized again beginning on March 14 and continuing until it was closed to further editing 24 hours later. When last I checked, the entry was correct.

I have spoken with a representative at Sinbad's production company, David & Goliath Productions, who said that Sinbad is alive and well, and any rumor to the contrary is false.

What a horrible rumor. I hope his family hasn't gone through a painful ordeal over this. I'm glad it's not true, too, Jess.

I read and watch almost everything about Hollywood, and I found nothing on Yahoo or TMZ to date. So my answer would be "no". But I will keep checking. I like this guy!

That is sad that people have nothing better to do, then make up crazy hurtful rumors. I am happy it is not true.

I have watched the news and no mention was made of this. Several people have asked if he has died.
