Petty "died peacefully" at 8:40pm (03:40 GMT onTuesday) "surrounded by family, his bandmates, and friends," a statement from his longtime manager Tony Dimitriades said.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and stuff, but being 59 myself IMHO when you can't find any brain activity just turn everything off, cuz I be gone.
/ might try turning it all on again, can't tell you how often that has worked for me
// But really, don't do me like that
/// No brain, no me, it was fun while it lasted.
Why shouldn't we judge a book by it's cover? It's got the author, title, and a summary of what the book's about.

Indeed. For all practical purposes he died early in the morning at his home. I understand that the family wanted to control the announcement and the narrative but their version bends the truth a little.
