Here is another one from the National Enquirer… A few days ago NE treated us to a tale OJ Simpson getting a prison yard beat down that turned out to be completely false (click HERE for that story…). Now we are getting a tale of Steve Jobs dying.
The rag is running with a story and photo that is allegedly Jobs leaving Stanford Cancer Center looking painfully thin. This is the same center that Patrick Swayze visited in his battle with cancer. Steve is in fact on an indefinite medical leave due to new problems from an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor (tumor on his pancreas) but their story has given him a mere six weeks to live. He has been battling with these cancer related issues publicly since 2004. In 2008 Bloomberg accidentally published an obituary for Jobs that had blank spaces for his age and final cause of death.
As for his current state…he is well enough to visit with Barack Obama in California today (Thursday Feb. 17th). However the report says that he is a dangerously underweight at 130 lbs (he is 6’2”).
“Critical care physician Dr Samuel Jacobson also told the Enquirer: ‘Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks. He is emaciated and looks to have lost a lot of muscle mass, which spells a poor prognosis.’
A source who recently saw Mr Jobs added: ‘He is very frail, moving like a weak, feeble old man. He weaves back and forth when he walks, as if he is having trouble keeping his balance, and the pain of every step is evident on his face.’”
Brave face or simply false report, we hope Mr. Jobs gets well soon.
