Listening to the doctor's efforts from close by on the night was Alan Weiss, a news editor from a leading television network, who had coincidentally been admitted to A&E after falling off his motorbike. Weiss had been astonished to see the lifeless body of one of the most famous men in the world rushed into the emergency room, accompanied by the unmistakable figure of Ono. He called his news desk to alert them.
"The piped music in the hospital began playing All My Loving and as it finished I heard someone screaming," Weiss recalls. Lynn had just told Ono that she had been widowed.
"Thirty years later, all the people involved have an extraordinarily detailed memory of it all," said Waldman this weekend. "The newsman inside the hospital told us he had always worried that his call to his colleagues might have meant that John and Yoko's son, Sean, had heard about the death before his mother got home. But the hospital administrator, all these years later, was able to reassure him that there was an information blackout until Sean had been told."
