Many people must have known that this gene therapy patient died. His/her relatives, hospital staff. I would guess that one of them called a news reporter, who couldn't use the information because the caller was anonymous and the official sources were still denying it. So he decided to post it to Wikipedia and see what happened.
Sounds like the medical profession needs its own equivalent to Popbitch.
Sounds like some of them think they have found such an alternative :-)
