Google search for ‘When did Kobe Bryant die’ no longer lists Jan. 26 as ‘date of assassination’<\/h1>\n

UPDATE: The Google search for “When did Kobe Bryant die” no longer lists Jan. 26 as “date of assassination.” It now says “date of death.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A Google search for “When did Kobe Bryant die” on Sunday night,\u00a0listed Jan.\u00a026\u00a0as the former NBA star’s\u00a0“date of assassination” rather than “date of death.”<\/p>\n

The result, which mentions the “date of assassination” is for a Wikipedia page about Bryant’s life and career. The word “assassination” did not appear on the Wikipedia page, which does have a note that it is “being\u00a0heavily edited\u00a0because its subject has recently died.”<\/p>\n

Bryant\u00a0died Sunday in helicopter crash\u00a0near Malibu that\u00a0killed nine people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Knowledge about the circumstances of the death and surrounding events may change rapidly as more facts come to light. Initial news reports may be\u00a0unreliable, and the\u00a0last updates\u00a0to this article\u00a0may not reflect\u00a0the most current information,” the Wikipedia page noted.<\/p>\n

Google and Wikipedia could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

A Google search for “when did George H.W. Bush die” lists the day the 41st president died as “Date of death.”<\/p>\n
