Death hoaxes seem to be popping up more and more lately, It seem's the general public cannot seeem to get enough of people dying.





Here is the article.

Reports and rumors are swirling that Hollywood star Dolly Parton has died of Congestive Heart Failure.

According to reports, Fox News announced today that Dolly Parton has died of Congestive Heart Failure at the age of 60.

Reports are still unconfirmed.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), or heart failure, is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. The "failing" heart keeps working but not as efficiently as it should. People with heart failure can't exert themselves because they become short of breath and tired.





As blood flow out of the heart slows, blood returning to the heart through the veins backs up, causing congestion in the tissues. Often swelling (edema) results. Most often there's swelling in the legs and ankles, but it can happen in other parts of the body, too. Sometimes fluid collects in the lungs and interferes with breathing, causing shortness of breath, especially when a person is lying down.
