It is now apparent to me @BravoMaxine was trolling for responses with her
misinformed tweet reporting Cooper's death but Rowell isn't blameless in
this debacle because she failed to verify the information and retweeted the
erroneous tweet to her 42,689 followers.
Cooper’s family had to update her facebook page which said, "Despite
@victoriarowell’s previous post #JeanneCooper’s passing, she is still
very much alive. Please disregard this misinformation."
