It's not real. Also, any news you first hear about in an email, is probably not true.

Hoax Roundup
Jaleel WhiteSince our last piece on hoaxes, we've seen a new batch of baloney surging through Buzz. We love your trusting nature and your desire to believe, but at some point, we'd love it if you stopped for a second before forwarding on the latest bit of hokum.
First up, a phony item claimed former sitcom star Jaleel White killed himself. The man who played Urkel surged in searches as folks heard the hoax or received an email with sketchy details about his supposed suicide. The sheer number of folks fooled pushed the very alive actor into our top 20 searches for the day. We also saw queries on "is jaleel white dead," "jaleel white gay," and "jaleel white pictures" shoot from zero into the thousands. The hoax also boosted searches on Steve Urkel and "Family Matters" as it spread across the Web.
Is that an alien face appearing on the X-ray of a duck? We can't say for sure, but Golden Palace did pony up $9600 for the pic that shows something like a small face in the lower cavity of said duck. Searches on "duck" and "duck x-ray" both quacked up some buzz as searchers attempted to discern the origin of that object on the duck pic.
And finally, searches on U.K. chart topper Sandi Thom are up 77% this week after some questions were raised about her background. Singer/songwriter Thom recorded a few sessions in her basement on a scant budget that were webcast to seventy thousand viewers. When rumors about record label RCA putting up the money for her webcasts began to circulate, buzz really began to sing. Was Sandi's success not quite as indie as she'd like you to believe? Well, on the Web, anything's possible, and we'll continue to scan all sketchy stories -

Actually it's true. I found the same article on this news site: http://www.msbnews.net/news/1956?124900002

What the hell is msbnews? Looks like they're trying to rip off MSNBC and hoping no one notices: If you glance casually and don't pay attention to the words 'msbnews' it looks like msnbc.
You got a bit of a darkside, don't you?
