WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- A hoax UPI article posted to a Facebook account associated with comic Bob Zmuda spread false rumors of his own demise at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Nevada.
An image posted to the official Facebook page for Tony Clifton, a character portrayed by both Zmuda and longtime collaborator Andy Kaufman, appeared to show a UPI article in a newspaper resembling the Chicago Sun-Times saying the Comic Relief founder died at the Mound House brothel from a heart attack.
