Was Stenger Shot and Killed?
“As the cause of Stenger’s death was initially unknown, some social media users set about to invent one.” Some users claimed that Stenger had been shot and killed by a person driving by in a car:
Stenger bị bắn và giết?
“Vì nguyên nhân cái chết của Stenger ban đầu không được biết rõ, một số người dùng mạng xã hội đã truyền đi tin về một cái chết.” Một số người dùng cho rằng Stenger đã bị bắn chết bởi một người lái xe hơi gần khu nhà apartment bạn ông, còn thêm có camera thu được:
Thực tế là tin này tlấy từ một người đã chết năm 2013 và trùng tên Stenge
The rumor that Stenger was shot and killed appears to be the result of some social media users conflating Stenger’s death in June 2022 with the 2013 death of a different Michael Stenger. In fact, the text in the above-displayed tweet is taken practically verbatim from a case report dealing with that earlier murder.
In sum, an official cause of Stenger’s cause of death is still unknown, but there have not been any credible reports to indicate that his death involved foul play. Furthermore, Fox News has reported that Stenger was suffering from cancer.
