Tucker Death Hoaxes
from Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement ca. 1960
No, I was wrong [see Bob Tucker for the story], Rapp didn't exactly take Singer's message at its face value, but realized it was a hoax and therefore didn't put his own name to it. He complied with Singer's request to mimeo and distribute the thing because Ben, in his letter, implied that the thing was a collaboration between himself and Tucker.
