Is Dolly Parton Dead?
Alright already! This morning I had 129 emails in my profilesblog account asking me if I know if the rumor that Dolly Parton is Dead is true or false. Alarmed by the thought since my mother is a huge Dolly Parton fan, I quickly got our investigation team on the topic. Here is what I have found out.
At approximately 10:30 Pm Fox News ran a story that there were unconfirmed reports that the famed country singer had passed away at age 62 from congestive heart failure. The first this I did after hearing this is investigate whether or not Ms. Parton had a history of heart ailments. I couldn’t find anything solid that pointed to past heart/cardiovascular health ailments that Dolly had suffered from in the past. Good news #1
Next I quickly looked for statements from Dolly Partons publicists. To my relief I found a statement recently issued by Pete Owens, her publicist stating that Dolly is not dead, and there will be no official statement made by Ms, Parton on the rumors. It is believed that at a football game at some Tennessee high school, the announcer had stated that Dolly Parton had passed away from congestive heart failure. No further information is known as to which high school stated this or why it was stated.
I can thus concluded with 99% certainty that Dolly Parton is not dead, but in fact is live and well and continues to brighten the spirits of her fans worldwide.
