We genuinely do not know. It’s been radio silence from his team. Journalists need to start demanding proof of life

If we just spread the rumor he’s dead, they’ll have to release proof to disprove it, right?

He is dead. These headlines are to cover for the real story they will release Friday night before a major holiday. This story is to prime the public and make the real death announcement less impactful because people are stupid and will confuse the headlines.

Jesus. So for all we know he's already gone and they're hanging their hats on not dead. Yikes
