Europe News
Madrid - The Spanish edition of the internet
encyclopedia Wikipedia on Thursday erroneously
said French author Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio
had died of a heart attack on hearing that he
had won the literature Nobel Prize.
'On hearing the news, because of the surprise,
he suffered a heart attack and was taken in
critical condition to the Charles de Gaulle
hospital in Paris, where he died at 1.05 pm,' the
Wikipedia entry on Le Clezio said.
The joke was eliminated from Wikipedia two
minutes after it had appeared, but its author
reintroduced it, adding that French President
Nicolas Sarkozy had expressed his condolences
to Le Clezio's family.
The second text was also corrected immediately
by Wikipedia.
