Mediaboss Marketing

George Zimmerman being found dead by a security guard in a hotels womans bathroom is a death hoax. There is no truth to the report that the controversial figure was found dead.

Zimmerman is known for the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida. On July 13, 2013, he was acquitted of second-degree murder. As of 2015, he remained the subject of media interest due to ongoing controversy over the Martin case. In addition, he has been involved in other violent incidents, with allegations of violence made against him since he was acquitted of the murder of Martin.

Now, where did this death hoax originate? Channel23News published the article reporting that Zimmerman was found dead in a womans bathroom. You can read the story below.

A security guard smelled a putrid odor coming from a stall in the women restroom of a Marriott hotel. While surveying the area a person was observed on their knees behind the door. After several unfailed attempts to communicate with the individual local authorities were notified and arrived 20 minutes later. The Orlando Police Dept. entered the area only to discover George Zimmerman, 38 year old Hispanic male, head down in a toilet bowl of feces.

However, the above story is fake news. Channel23News is a prank website apparently operated by a Korry Scherer from Milwaukee, WI. according to Hoax-Alert. The site lets visitors create their own realistic looking fake news stories to prank friends and family. The above story is just another example of a realistic but fake news article.

Here are some examples of people sharing the fake news on social media.

This has not been the first time Zimmerman has been the subject of fake news. In March 2014, the Cream Bmp Daily web site published an article reporting that Zimmerman had accidentally shot and killed himself while loading a gun.

911 first responders found George Zimmermans lifeless body at a Florida gun range after responding to an emergency call that he shot himself while loading his weapon.

Im not saying we took our time getting there, but weve shown up faster to black neighborhoods. According to a first responder, they stopped at every light, didnt use a siren and drove behind an elderly woman all before finally arriving on the scene. If he was a rapper hed be more famous now that hes dead, but nope! Everybody just glad hes dead.

As noted in Cream Bmp Dailys About page, that web site deals strictly in satire:
