Variety has picked up the story, but they could have fallen for the hoax, too.

[From her home town paper.](http://www.northampton-news-hp.co.uk/8203-Judy-Carne-dies-Northampton-s-Sock-girl-dies/story-27748796-detail/story.html)

[US News and World Report](http://www.usnews.com/news/entertainment/articles/2015/09/08/british-actress-judy-carne-a-laugh-in-star-dies-at-76) posting an AP story a reliable enought source? I think we can call it confirmed at this point.
