RIP re-established:
Bill’s death was reported prematurely, with his son writing on Instagram on Sunday: “My dad IS NOT dead, he’s still alive and fighting for his life. He needs your continued prayers and support. Certain people have been so quick to write him off as dead so they can capitalize off it.” His publicist has confirmed he died later that evening.

Also, this sort of thing probably doesn't happen to too many people:
In 1991, Bill lost an eye after accidentally shooting himself in an argument with his girlfriend. He was pronounced dead, but later regained consciousness while in the hospital morgue. “My toe was tagged and they were pushing me in the drawer,” he recalled in a 2014 interview. “I looked both ways and I saw frozen people to the left and frozen people to the right. I thought I was dreaming, then I saw people in front of me pushing the door closed and I was like, ‘Yo!’” Following his cancer diagnosis this year, he said: “It’s not like I’m afraid of dying, because … I died and came back already, in June 1991. I know what it’s like on the other side.”
