Eli Manning Dead? Giants Quarterback Becomes Victim of Internet Death Hoax

Eli Manning is dead. At lest that's what the Internet is saying. However the New York Giants quarterback didn't die. He's just the victim of an Internet death hoax. Eli Manning is just fine.

A report came out this week saying Manning was found dead in a car. Global Associated News or Mediafetcher reports, "State Highway Patrol is reporting that Pro Football Player Eli Manning was found unresponsive in a 2012 Cadillac Escalade early this morning at a New York highway rest area. 911 emergency services were dispatched to the rest area where he was found and CPR was administered, but the athlete failed to regain consciousness.

It is unknown how long Eli Manning was at the rest area before being noticed, and the cause of death is not know at this time as this story is still developing. Updates will be provided as information becomes available. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, fans and teammates."

The report also shows comments from supposed fans. "This is so sad man, RIP my brother! the world will not be the same without Eli Manning," madden-2020 says. "I just heard this on the radio. this is so wrong. I can't believe it," Steve1975 says.

Since there are so many details, it may be easy to believe but Global Associated News creates fake news reports. A message at the bottom of the site reads, "this story was dynamically generated using a generic 'template' and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank 'non-specific' template for the purpose of entertainment."

Some fans got wind of the report and took to Twitter to question and mourn the loss of the football star. Some examples of tweets include:

"IS ELI MANNING DEAD FAREAL..?"

"Eli Manning Dead? R.I.P"

"Wait, Eli Manning died today!?"

Manning isn't dead. He was recently seen working out with Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks.
