Actually, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) screwed up: they were contacted by CBS, and other media outlets, and the LAPD spokesperson(s), acting on a report Petty had been taken off life support (also not yet officially confirmed by Petty's camp), told the media the LAPD has heard Petty was dead; the LAPD is currently trying to walk back their statement(s); CBS, and others, only reported what they believed to be a factual statement from an official source...
