Loved ones of Diane Keaton are reportedly sharing how the award-winning actress died at the age of 79.

In a family statement shared by People, Keaton is said to have died from pneumonia.

“The Keaton family is very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11,” the shared statement read.

People reported her death on Saturday while noting that her health had suddenly declined.

According to The Associated Press, a family member said that Keaton died in California with loved ones.

The Oscar-winning actress starred in such films as “Annie Hall,” “The Godfather” and “Father of the Bride.”

Keaton was celebrated with a life achievement award in 2017 and had her hand and footprint cemented in a ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles in 2022.

“I don’t think about my film legacy,” The AP quoted her saying at the event. “I’m just lucky to have been here at all in any way, shape or form. I’m just fortunate. I don’t see myself as anything other than that.”

Autism ‘highly likely’ linked to Tylenol and circumcision, RFK Jr. says

Washington

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed Thursday in a cabinet meeting that there may be a link between circumcision and autism.

The health secretary stated that it was due to the administration of Tylenol to infants following the procedure.

“There are two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, it’s highly likely, because they were given Tylenol,” Kennedy is quoted by the New York Post as telling President Donald Trump in Thursday’s meeting.

According to The Associated Press, Kennedy appears to be referring to a study in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine in 2015, which looked at ritual circumcision and the risk of autism spectrum disorder in boys under 10.

It reportedly found that those who had undergone the procedure, which involves the removal of the foreskin from the penis, were more likely to develop autism than other boys in the study.

Researchers suggested that a potential link might be due to the pain associated with the procedure.

President Trump urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol during a White House news conference last month, saying that there is a potential link between Tylenol usage during pregnancy and autism.

Indianapolis

Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was reportedly stabbed early Saturday morning in downtown Indianapolis.

According to multiple reports, Sanchez, who is currently a broadcaster for Fox Sports, was in the city this weekend for Sunday’s Colts’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders when the attack happened.

Fox Sports said in a statement that Sanchez was hospitalized and recovering in stable condition.

“We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time,” the company shared.

Sanchez, 38, played eight seasons in the NFL and was selected fifth overall by the New York Jets in the 2009 draft. He also played quarterback for USC from 2005-2008.

ESPN reports that Sanchez will no longer be part of the broadcast team for Sunday’s NFL game at Lucas Oil Stadium.

No further immediate information was released.

‘There are no words’: Man arrested in connection with hit-and-run crash that killed 13-year-old girl

Jacksonville, Fla.

Authorities in Florida say a man accused of killing a teen girl in a hit-and-run crash has been arrested.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred Tuesday night on Arlington Road North. Patrol officers arrived to find a 13-year-old girl, later identified as Genesis Webber, dead at the scene.

Surveillance footage from the area showed a truck veering off the road, hitting Genesis on the sidewalk, crashing through a chain-link fence, and continuing, authorities said.

Deputies were able to track down the suspected driver, 54-year-old Andre Myers, after the crash, thanks to him already wearing an ankle monitor.

Investigators said Myrers was identified as the driver from the evidence collected at the crash scene. He was out on bond on previous felony charges.

The sheriff’s office said patrol officers found him asleep in his truck when they arrested him on Wednesday.

Authorities said they will work with the state attorney’s office to make sure Myers faces “the full extent of the law” for his actions.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office also offered its condolences to the family who lost their young girl.

“The loss of any life is tragic, but the loss of an innocent young life makes this case much more difficult. We hope this quick arrest brings peace to Genesis’s family and friends while they mourn her loss,” the sheriff’s office said.

Loved ones have started a GoFundMe for Genesis and her family.

“There are no words for the pain I feel right now: my heart is broken, and I am just trying to breathe through each moment,” the organizer shared. “I want to be able to give my daughter the service she deserves.”

Genesis’ family said they will fight for justice and safety, as they don’t want any other family to endure what they have been going through.

‘No driver ... no clue’: Waymo driverless car stopped by police during DUI operation

San Bruno, Calif.

Authorities in Northern California say they dealt with an unusual situation over the weekend involving a driverless vehicle.

According to the San Bruno Police Department, officers were conducting a DUI enforcement operation when they spotted a Waymo robotaxi making an illegal U-turn in front of them at a light.

Officers pulled over the vehicle, which had no human driver behind the wheel, so they had to contact the company regarding the violation.

“That’s right … no driver, no hands, no clue,” the department shared.

San Bruno police said a ticket couldn’t be issued as their “citation books don’t have a box for robot.”

The department said this was a first for the officers involved to be pulling over a vehicle without a human driver, but that Waymo was made aware of the vehicle “glitch.”

“Hopefully, the reprogramming will keep it from making any more illegal moves,” police shared.

Authorities said there is legislation in the works that will allow officers to issue notices to robotaxi companies for similar traffic violations.
