The Richmond Globe is an &#8216;entertainment&#8217; website that mixes factual news stories with made up nonsense and makes no effort to let readers know which is which.<\/p>\n<p>The same report has also been published on several \u00a0other fake-news websites.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are no credible news or media reports that support the claims in the fake story in any way.<\/p>\n<p>And, the story is not even original. It is apparently a revamped version of an \u00a0<a title=\"Fake News Claims Body of Homeless Man Identified as Elvis Presley\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/hoax-homeless-man-identified-elvis-presley.shtml\">earlier fake-news report<\/a> \u00a0that claimed &#8211; falsely of course &#8211; that DNA tests on the body of a homeless man found in San Diego identified him as Elvis Presley. Again, the report claimed that authorities had helped the star fake his own death because he wished to disappear from the limelight.<\/p>\n<p>At any one time, a large number of fake-news stories will likely be circulating via social media. There are a growing number of websites that \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/four-quick-ways-to-spot-fake-news-stories\/\">churn out such nonsensical material \u00a0<\/a>on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>It is thus wise to verify any strange or unusual &#8216;news&#8217; reports that come your way before you share them.
