After days of false reports, it's been confirmed that Tanya Roberts has died at the age of 65. Her partner, Lance O'Brien, told TMZ, which was first to report the news, that Roberts' doctors called him just after 9.00pm. Roberts' rep, Mike Pingel, told the news organization O'Brien claimed to have been asked by hospital staff to come in and say his final goodbyes. On Jan. 3, Pingel alerted the media, including TMZ, which was first to report the false news. But on Jan. 4, Pingel told NBC News Roberts was still alive.
