This turned out not to be true: "Famous Burmese Singer May Sweet dies in car accident in UK"

THIS IS ENTIRELY DISPUTED: "Myanmar's famous singer and actress May Sweet dead" -- SEE LATER IRRAWADDY NEWS ITEM.

Maybe that's why post says "AP?" with a question mark. I did wonder if AP might care about a Burmese singer. Is it a plant by the junta?

See comments. Fishy that in last few weeks we have seen one very real assassination and two fake "deaths," one of Kyemon U Thaung. Where is all this disinfo coming from? I found it on a Burma list sent to dissidents.

"reharsals" another typo -- for now I am keeping this post for reference.
