Week 6 EOC: Fake News

http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/tupac-still-alive-new-selfie-8715699 "The YouTube channel behind the video, Tupac Legacy, does stress it is "not 100% he is alive but I want to share my view". Last year, a retired police officer claimed he was paid $1.5million to help the star fake his own death . David Myers, who was on his deathbed at the time, said: "The world needs to know what I did. I'm ashamed that I let a price be put on my word and I cannot die without letting the world know.". Over 30 people were reportedly paid to help fake his death – including police, medics and various witnesses. http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/09/a-reminder-that-tupac-is-still-alive-and-living-in-cuba/ "The unsolved mysteries surrounding Tupac’s death have led conspiracy theorists to surmise that the rapper is still alive. For example, they argue, of the 14 shots fired, why did only a fragment of one bullet hit the driver, Suge Knight? Why was Tupac not wearing a bullet proof vest (even though he was known to do so on other public outings)? On a normally busy Saturday night in downtown Las Vegas, not one person saw the shooter? Why was the autopsy photo fake? Why did the coroner list Tupac as 6 feet, 215 pounds when in reality he was 5’10 and 168 pounds? The man who was responsible for cremating Tupac retired after doing so, and was never seen again. What did Tupac’s mother mean when she said her son had “chose to leave quietly”? And, of course, there’s his posthumous musical output of seven albums — including The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. Makaveli is the name of Italian war strategist Niccolò Machiavelli who pretended to fake his death, and when you rearrange the letters, “Makaveli” turns into “Am Alive K”. Inside the album, it reads, “Exit: 2pac, Enter: Makaveli.” How do you explain all of this?" http://www.oxygen.com/very-real/tupac-shakur-is-alive-here-are-7-reasons-people-still-believe-it "It’s been almost 20 years since Tupac Shakur was murdered, but the rapper has hardly been able to rest in peace. This week, a retired cop supposedly claimed that he helped the beloved star fake his own death. This isn’t the first time fans have revisited his death based on real or imagined events. Rumors about Tupac secretly being alive—and living on an island somewhere-- have circulated for years. Like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, fans refuse to believe that the “California Love” rapper is actually dead. 2Pac back?" Many people believe Tupac is still alive, but all the evidence created has to many faults to be seen as the truth. This is most likely fake news.
