hearing that he had won the literature Nobel Prize.
'On hearing the news, because of the surprise, he suffered a
heart attack and was taken in critical condition to the Charles
de Gaulle hospital in Paris, where he died at 1.05 pm,' the
Wikipedia entry on Le Clezio said.
The joke was eliminated from Wikipedia two minutes after it

condolences to Le Clezio's family.
The second text was also corrected immediately by
Wikipedia.
