(PS--one of the saddest parts of the story is he died around the same time as Michael Jackson and the news of his passing got pushed to the curb by the media as they instead covered the circus of Jackson's death. Sad that a real American hero's passing is overshadowed and barely remembered because of the death of a pop icon. 
Too bad you are incorrect. Micheal Jackson died in 2009, Ed Freeman died around a year before in 2008. Someone added that part, originally it was a reference to Chris Brown's beating of Rhianna then someone else replaced it with Jackson, at the end of the email chain letter. The first version with the Chris Brown reference changed the date of Freeman's death to Febuary 2009 to create the mistaken impression that Freeman died on the same day and the media ignored it to report instead about Chris Brown. When someone else altered it and replaced the Brown reference to Jackson, they also changed the date to June 25, 2009, again to give the false impression that Freeman died on the same day as Jackson.
The media didn't ignore him and his death was widely reported on major news networks and newspapers.
