Internet Hoaxes

Claims that death row inmate ate Bible for last meal are fake

Claims that a death row inmate ate an entire Bible for his last meal come from a popular fake news website.

If you’ve heard the “news” that a death row inmate in Alabama requested and subsequently ate the Holy Bible as per his last meal request, then you were duped, because it’s fake news from a well-known spoof website.

Originally published on WorldNewsDailyReport.com, the article claims the prison staff allowed the innate to eat the book as it did not violate the prison’s last meal policy.

However the story is complete fiction. The photos apparently depicting the inmate and prison director show other people. And the inmate is identified as Jeremy Morris – however there are no records of an Alabama man in Death Row under that name.

WorldNewsDailyReport.com has a disclaimer on its website that says –

WNDR assumes however all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purely a miracle.

As such, this story should not be circulated on the Internet as genuine.
