With all the details it would be easy to believe the story to be true. However always look at the bottom line. In small print at the bottom of the page it reads,

THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic 'template' and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank 'non-specific' template for the purpose of entertainment.

So Joe Cool is alive and well and just the latest to suffer an internet hoax.
