This Reuters article, reporting about the tragic accidental death of Anton Yelchin, who plays Chekov in the Star Trek movies, originally mentioned that the character was played on TV by Walter Koenig, who, they said, died in 1994... trouble is, Koenig isn't dead! The article has since been corrected, which is noted at the bottom. I thought Reuters was usually a reliable news source?
