    George H. W. Bush death hoax

    A caller impersonating the president's physician told the network that George H. W. Bush had died after he fainted at a state dinner in Tokyo. The claim was nearly broadcast before an executive stopped the report and an on-air correction was issued. The caller was later identified and questioned by the Secret Service.
