Apparently there’s some weird stuff going on with the TMZ website and people think it might be fake. Incredibly sad if true.

Edit: TMZ’s website is down and “experiencing technical difficulties,” so this might be a hoax.

Couple network TV outlets passing on the TMZ story.

Edit: As Sas said, seems a little iffy. Major outlets would have no difficulty confirming it, it having happened in LA.

Very sad if true. Kobe is/was a great player and seemed like a really fine person. Condolences to friends and family of all who lost their lives. RIP.

Holy crap. Sad thing to hear for someone still young in life and not a natural death. RIP

It’s all over the place, with everyone sourcing TMZ, and TMZ only.

I disliked him as a player, but I think he was a pretty good guy that did a lot for the community. Sad.

Was it his helicopter? Didn’t he have a copter that he took to practice?
