AOG, I hadn't intended my post to refer to the erroneous report of her death.
when I posted that link to BBC News, the page had a time signature of 12h30 and very much played down her condition (as opposed to several newspaper sites), saying that she'd only gone to hospital "as a precaution". Immediately after I posted, the BBC revised the page bringing them into line with the rest of the media world, and making me look a bit of a pr&t.
Not at all mushroom, I know exactly what you mean, the media are at times that eager to be the first with the news, they tend to cut corners, in tragic circumstances at times.
