I recall answering our house phone when I was 14, on the line some biddy unbeknown to me.
A full minute of her telling me how awful it was, how tragic, till I finally dragged out what she was on about: 'that your mum has died'. Eh... she hasn't, I'm pretty sure.
She was in hospital at the time busy dying of cancer.
Didn't help my relationship with humans. I put it down to Chinese whispers brought on by it being a small town. Turns out it's just pervasive.
tl:dr, poor me poor mum, poor dave who has to put up not only with cancer but also people so eager to gossip or break 'news' that they prematurely call his death.
P.S: Not aimed at msn.
