Outline
Circulating report claims that when Jamaican authorities conducted DNA tests on the body of a homeless man found behind a fast food restaurant, they discovered that the man was actually reggae star Bob Marley.
Brief Analysis
The claims in the report are nonsense. No such discovery has been made. The story is fiction and has been published by various fake-news and ‘entertainment’ websites. Bob Marley died in 1981. The story is a reworking of an earlier fake-news report that claimed that the body of a homeless man found in San Diego turned out to be that of Elvis Presley.
