Rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated

I have news - a second-hand Algernon report. He's alive, he still exists, and as it was described to me, had been suffering some health issues and is currently on the mend, "licking his wounds."

I don't know more than that [so asking me for info is essentially worthless - everything i know about it is in the above paragraph], but info was fresh as of yesterday evening.
