Arnold Schwarzenegger Dies : Rumor

0


Arnold-Schwarzenegger-DiesOn 28 August 2015, a web site using the domain MSMBC.co (unrelated to the legitimate MSNBC news outlet, which can be found at MSNBC.com), published an article reporting that actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (who also served as governor of California from 2003-2011) had passed away from a heart attack at age 68:

Arnold Schwarzenegger was found dead at his Las Angeles, California home. Schwarzenegger was 68 years old.

Police responded to the L.A. home after receiving a 911 emergency call for a “unresponsive male”. Upon entering the residence, police found Schwarzenegger’s deceased body in his bed.

Little information is known at this time and police intend to investigate the cause of death.

“We found Mr. Schwarzenegger in his bedroom deceased around 9:30 pm on Wednesday,” said Las Angeles Police Chief James J. Freda in a brief statement to Local 4 CBS News. “We found no reason to believe foul play was a factor in his death but intent to perform a full investigation.

A source close to the family also confirmed Schwarzenegger’s death.arnold-rip-659x330

There is no truth to the above-quoted story. This rumor originated with a fake news web site that uses the domain MSMBC.co in order to trick readers into believing that they are reading reports from the MSNBC.com news organization.

While MSMBC.co does not contain a readily available disclaimer, the web site’s pitch for new writers does shed some light about the quality of the web site’s content.

MSMBC.co is also responsible for a similar death hoax involving country music singer Willie Nelson.
