Subject: FW: Jaleel White (Steve Urkel) LOS ANGELES, California (AP) --
Jaleel White, who played 'nerdy ' neighbor Steve Urkel on "Family Matters" found dead Monday. He was 29 years old. White was pronounced dead on arrival after admission to an LA hospital early Monday morning. The death is being investigated as a suicide. Born Jaleel Ahmad White, he began his career at the age of three acting in television commercials, before landing guest spots on shows such as "The Jeffersons" and "Mr. Belvedere." It was in 1989 that White landed the role that would make him famous, playing wacky neighbor 'Steve Urkel' on the ABC program "Family Matters." Following the cancellation of "Family Matters" in 1997, friends claim White became obsessed with the character, and grew despondent, despite further successes as star and producer of the UPN sitcom "Grownups", and as a writer for NBA.com Neighbor and friend, Bradley Spencer alerted police after hearing what he described as "a loud bang" coming from White's Los Angeles apartment. Authorities state that upon entering the home they discovered a young African-American male with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Also found was a note, which read simply "Did I do that?", a popular catchphrase from the show. "Jaleel was an uncommonly good man, an exceptional role model and a great comedic actor," said William Bickley, who created the series, and Thomas L. Miller, one of the executive producers, in a joint statement. "We feel privileged to have known him and worked with him. He'll be missed and remembered every day by his many, many friends," they said. Actress Kellie Williams -- Laura Winslow on the series -- described White as a consummate professional actor. "Everyone adored him," she said. "We have all lost a dear, dear brother," said Reginald VelJohnson, who played Carl Winslow. White, an only child, is survived by "cousins, aunts, uncles, and wonderful friends," Bickley said.

This definitely freaks me out. I remember Mickey Rooney, Ernest Borgnine, Abe Vigoda, and the guy who played Scotty on Star Trek, all dying. Also Jack Palance died twice. I am not imagining this stuff, and none of the reports were from the Internet. I don't lknow if I believe the time travel stuff, but I can't seem to come up with any other explanation.

If it was a mistake in reporting, then why is there no record of it? The original story is nowhere to be found, no retraction, nothing...
And Scotty from Star Trek, James Doohan, died in 2005.

OK, well I DEFINITELY remember him dying way back in the early nineties. So he, like Jack Palance, died twice!

Someone mentioned the Mt. St. Helens eruption in the US in the '80s. I was born in October, 1980, months after the eruption. However, I have very specific memories of a thin layer of ash coating much of the country, including my family's cars, sometime around 1988, and this being due to Mt. St. Helens.
