Sadly, Boner Stabone IS dead.

Good news but obviously not likely to be permanent.

With a management team telling the world he is dead, no wonder he had been having trouble finding acting gigs.

at the risk of being somewhat offensive...

He's only mostly dead! There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

A joke that sometimes recurs with my wife's friends is that if you claim Rick Moranis is dead, you won't get any pushback. People just believe it.

He is the new Abe Vigoda who died many times.  

The management team blames it on his "distraught wife" for the misinformation.

Los Angeles ABC reporter George Pennacchio subsequently posted on Facebook that Dow’s wife, Lauren, mistakenly thought her husband had died during the night at their home and mistakenly informed Dow’s management that he had passed.

“Tony Dow is still alive,” reports Pennacchio. “I had a conversation with his wife, Lauren. She is understandably distraught and grief-stricken about what’s been going on with Tony’s health battle these past months. He’s been in hospice care at their home, and based on some health issues overnight, Lauren inferred that Tony had passed away to some people close to her and the word quickly spread. Lauren admits she’s been ‘a little fuzzy’ these days – understandable."

I  believe he means "implied" not "inferred."

In this case, reports of his death are incorrect, but not exactly greatly exaggerated.

All of this must be very hard on the Beaver...

...I'll see myself out. 

Leave it to reaper. 

Any word on Keith Jackson?

Tony must have advanced stage cancer to have home  hospice care. He looked quite healthy when he was young. I know some fat smokers who are in their 80s.

"I'm not dead yet"

But Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
