  • Having a 5 yr. old grandchild go through a terminal illness and lose the battle. I can only empathize with the Swayze's; the ordeal is hard enough. You fight for your life and then someone starts a rumor you are dead. Disgraceful! Wishing Patrick many more God given days. You are in my prayers.

  • I think Patrick Swayze and Farrah Fawcett show not only courage but an inner strength to keep going and not give in to thier devastating cancers

  • We would like to state that The Insider did not in fact report his death because it had all been speculation. We waited for an official statement before publishing anything...and fortunately, the official statement debunked false news that other websites had posted.

  • I do not believe the absolute non-accountability of the paparazzi and news media. They need to be charged and shut down. To torment someone who is fighting for his life is despicable.
    Enough!

  • Thank you "The Insider" for posting this response! I do believe, however, that an apology to Patrick Swayze's FAMILY/FRIENDS/FANS is also due from The Insider! I am very disappointed in the way that this was handled. Confirmation should have been verified before an article like that ever being posted. I have lost respect for The Insider!
