"Oficially Dead"............
> Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, brother of King Abdullah, has officially died.

How is that different from unofficially died? I saw this headline and just about choked on my coffee! I guess nobody uses proof readers anymore!

He actually died years ago. We kept hearing scuttlebutt from the medical people we knew while we were living/working in Saudi but it was never confirmed. He has been in bad health for years but they kept things hidden to keep things in the country stable. Now with the Arab spring everything brown is hitting the fan...

One of my dad's favorite funny sayings: "He died once."

Unofficially dead means he can still vote.

Several times.

Unofficially dead = reported dead by Fox "News."
