I haven't seen this reported anywhere. So, I can't provide a link. Word is getting around in her home town. (Same town I'm from) And there are ribbons on the doors of The Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center.
Very sad news. Prayers for Hal and her entire family.
Oh my God, please say this isn't true!
I don't even have words...
It's highly foul to post a thread with that title WITHOUT confirmation.
Shameful.
Well, I've heard it from several people in town. And they put black ribbons on the doors of "The Dixie". If that's not verification, I don't know what is.
An actual statement. Those ribbons could be for something else and THAT started the rumors around your town. Think.

there is no news of this ..... I hope this is not true .....
Yes, I'm from Huntingdon. (County seat of Carroll County) If this does turn out to be a nasty rumor, I'll be here to apologize. What I do know is that she was in Texas receiving treatments and decided to come home earlier this week. This news follows a rational line of events.
Either way, her family needs your prayers.
I hope this isn't true!
I spoke with the front office of the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center, they confirmed it for me.
This truly is the night the lights went out in Georgia...
From Milan here, this is devastating.
EDIT: It's been confirmed? This is awful.

I fervently hope this is not true.
People are starting to tweet about it, but that's meaningless.
"Why aren't the news angencies reporting this?

You could always just call the DixiePac for yourself. The number's right on the contact us page. There's an event tonight, so they're open.

That's not official.
The twitter messages are at least six hours old. That makes me think it's not true.
The fact that there is, apparently, a wrestler named Dixie Carter doesn't make finding info any easier, incidentally.
Either they are waiting to put out an official statement or this is like when Parez Hilton said Jaclyn Smith was dead when she was safe having a vacation with her family. well, maybe not that bad. that was pretty pathetic and should have made people stop following him.
regardless, hope it isn't true. and if you have confirmation Radford from DCPAC that is something, along with the ribbon stuff I don't think you are just putting up rumours to be malicious.
I'm sure Radford was just expressing concern for this much beloved performer. But I do think a thread title change is in order.
You're right Reg!
Done.
Taz, you're going to be punished. In a way you won't like.
As soon as I can think of a way you wouldn't like.
I put the question mark at the end of it. I don't have a problem with the title change. I feel like if CNN had the same info I had, they would report it. The reason that no mainstream news outlet has it is because this is a very small town. A far cry from New York or Los Angeles, or even a Des Moines, Iowa for that matter.
The only further confirmation I "could" get would be walking up to her house and knocking on the door. Which I refuse to do.
