heart attack?

Found more on the heart attack at http://www.fansview.com/, this is perhaps from someone attending the convention?

I put it here for general edification, perhaps someone can confirm/refute it. Zola (talk) 07:07, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

thank you I will check it.--I am an oktau and a baka at times but deny proven facts and you got a fight 07:10, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

AnimeOnDVD/Mania have pulled the story from the main site, but the "print" version is still there, ANN has pulled the story and its related Talkback thread in their forum entirely. Probably better to wait on more definitive word. 71.161.219.36 (talk) 07:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The news came over the anime convention mailing list last night. The only thing that can really be said is that he is in the hospital, he did not have a heart attack and originally reported, and the family had requested the information be kept as private as possible. And give that both Mania and ANN has pulled their stories should be an indication that the original reports were grossly inaccurate. --Farix (Talk) 23:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly I'm just not even going to write about the Heart Attack because I was told by somebody that It was a privacy violation when I put it up on here. So I would like to publicly apologize to Mr. Ayres for any distress this has caused him, It was never my intention to cause him or anyone close to him undo hardship, I will remember next time to think before acting.--Jack Cox (talk) 02:55, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although Ayres has released a public statement about the situation, I still believe we should err on the side of privacy. It's not really something that belongs on a biography and is rather tabloidish in nature. --Farix (Talk) 03:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
