Heath Hoax
According to the NY Post, an unidentified man pretending to be Heath Ledger’s father has: (1) contacted Tom Cruise and John Travolta; (2) spoken with the doctor who performed Heath’s autopsy; and (3) even duped the Manhattan funeral home where the tragic actor’s body was held before being flown to Los Angeles into booking him rooms at the nearby Carlyle hotel.
Popsquire’s perspective…
This is sick and smacks of (1) fraud and (2) larceny by false pretenses. In New York, larceny by false pretenses generally refers to obtaining property — e.g., a hotel room paid for by someone else — by misrepresenting facts relating to the promise.
Popsquire can think of only one phrase to express how he feels about this…Oh My Gosh…by the Basement Jaxx…
