 | | Murdoch, who drowned in the disaster, has been honored with a plaque in the town hall of Dalbeattie, Scotland, his home town, for reportedly showing great heroism in his final hours and, in the end, giving his life jacket to another passenger. |
 | | In the film, however, he is shown shooting passengers trying to board lifeboats and then turning his gun on himself. |
 | | As reported in today's (Wednesday) London Times Fox executive vice president Scott Neeson has told Murdoch's relatives that he was happy to set the record straight and that the studio will contribute to an $8,500 memorial fund for Murdoch -- but he stopped short of issuing an apology. |
