Death - For real or hoax?[edit]

I can’t find a legitimate news source confirming his death and others claiming it’s a hoax. Probably should hold off on confirming his death before we can confirm for sure this is truth. 2603:7000:3100:7AC:986D:7AC7:EAE2:3E70 (talk) 15:44, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmation here --Pfold (talk) 09:17, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that BBC Radio 4's Today programme would have done a dedicated feature on Brooker this morning if this was not the case. Although Martha Kearney did mistakenly say he had died yesterday. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:19, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
