Mix-Up on Heart Radio's Breakfast Show: James Van Der Beek's Passing Mistakenly Reported, Dick Van Dyke's Vibrant Health at 100
There was a mix-up on Heart Radio's Breakfast Show where presenter Ashley Roberts mistakenly reported that Dawson's Creek actor Dick Van Dyke had passed away. However, it was actually James Van Der Beek who had died at the age of 48 after battling colorectal cancer. Co-stars like Katie Holmes and Busy Philipps posted emotional tributes to James on social media. James' wife Kimberly also shared a GoFundMe campaign to help with the family's financial strain due to his medical care costs.
On the other hand, Dick Van Dyke, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, is alive and well. He attributes his longevity to regular exercise, including gym sessions, stretching, yoga, and sit-ups. Dick Van Dyke continues to thrive and stay active even at his age.
