This CBC update seems to say he's alive. I think it was written 1:32 Eastern, so thats 11:32 here, so around 6 minutes ago? Sounds like CBC doesn't think he's dead yet...
I doubt it will take that long to 'write' the story, I'm sure every outlet already has the story ready to go on, they're just hovering over the 'enter' button.
