In February 2020, a video supposedly showing a BBC News report about the death of Vanessa Bryant, widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, circulated on social media.
Here’s a screenshot of how the video appeared on Facebook:This was not a genuine news report.
For starters, the website Network-Channel-Wereblogs.com is not typically where you’d find video reports from BBC News.
Second, while the preview image listed “BBC News,” the actual video featured unrelated reporting from Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.
In sum, Vanessa Bryant did not die by suicide in February 2020.
