On my way home my radio station reported that she died from congestive heart failure. Then 10 min later said that it wasn't true. Anyone hear or read anything on this?

Dolly Parton Dolly Parton is "alive and well" despite a rumor Friday night that the legendary country star had died at a Tennessee hospital from congestive heart failure.
David Dotson, president of the Dollywood Foundation in Tennessee, told FOXNews.com that the rumor that Parton died at Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center is false and Parton is "alive and well."
As for the source of the rumor, Dotson says he has "no idea whatsoever."
"It came out of the blue on Friday night," said Dotson, who has not spoken to Parton since the rumor started. "I have no idea who or why it started or spread like it did. The most important thing is its a rumor."
As for a report that it started at a high school football game, Dotson was skeptical about that.
"They never identified what football game, so I think that's not accurate," he said.
Parton has been a victim of similar rumors in the past.
"There was something a couple of years ago I think it started on the Web. Seems to be plenty of rumor-mongers out there," Dotson said.
