I'm assuming it happened this morning. It'll hit the news soon I'd bet.

Probably, I have checked his social media and nothing is on there too.

I hate break the news but it is with deep sadness and regret that the rumors are unfortunately true. Pernell Whitaker has actually passed away last night after succumbing to his injuries after being hit by a car. So rest in eternal peace Champ. You will be missed!
