Tom Petty
Tom Petty  died on Monday night  but inaccurate news of  his  death made its way around the internet much earlier in the day.
According to Tony Dimitriades  longtime manager of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  the legendary rocker "died peacefully at 8:40 pm PT surrounded by family   his  bandmates and friends" after suffering cardiac arrest.
That was hours after some media outlets had already reported on  his  death -- a mistake that prompted one of Petty's daughters to vent her anger about it on social media.

An Instagram account believed to belong to  AnnaKim Violet Petty  featured a post with a blistering message to Rolling Stone magazine  which reported  Petty  had died on Monday afternoon.

At 4 p.m. ET  CBS News  citing Los Angeles Police  tweeted that  Petty  had died and included a link to an obituary.
