232.0. "James Doohan" by RAVEN1::HEFFELFINGER () Fri Jul 12 1985 16:04

     Actually, this should be called denial please.

     I just read a posting off of Usenet that said that the postee had heard
on the way to work on Tues that James Doohan had died of a massive heart 
attack.  I've not heard anything else to that effect, not in the papers, not 
on radio. (Haven't been watching TV).  I sure hope it was a joke in poor
taste.  Has anybody else heard this?

In a later edition of SF-LOVERS-DIGEST, the person who originally posted
the "James Doohan has died" message retracted, claiming it was a mistake.
He'd misheard an announcement or something.  Anyway, it's not true, thank
heaven.  James Doohan is alive and well!

Just catching up.  James Doohan indeed has appeared in public since the
posting of this topic.  As of this writing, he is alive.
