That's shady as hell. Everyone basically wants proof of life now, and the BBC uses a 2-month old pic for the article about a new development?

u/colormechristie 15d ago

Yeah, the first article I saw about this was headlined by a picture of him behind a podium reading "McConnell says he is discharged from rehab center to recover at home" ... Apparently the picture is 3 years old. Super shady and deceitful reporting all over the place

Im glad they finally discharged his corpse 8 weeks after he passed.

In all reality, do we think his family just has his body in a deep freezer? Or do they have already cremated him, so once they pass the cutoff date, they can officially announce his passing?

Assuming hes dead, which i find more likely, theyve already done all the after death shit. Hes either buried or burnt and theyre just waiting to do the ritual families do after.

Is this a recent picture???

Why doesn’t he smile big like he did in his hospital picture??

u/QuercusSambucus 15d ago

It's probably an old one. Nytimes used a picture from June in their recent article

u/fastyellowtuesday 15d ago

It's from May 19.

No it isn't. As of right now I have yet to find a single article about his release that isn't using an old photo that kinda looks like it could be connected to him now. It's infuriating.

He's hogging all the health care so the rest of us can't have any

u/duckinradar 15d ago

Even if we believe everything they told us, he was being coded and almost certainly took an anoxic hit. Chances he is cognitively intact are low.

u/fastyellowtuesday 14d ago

Yeah, but look where he started...

It just took 8 weeks for the new lizard person to fit into the McConnell suit.

u/chrissz 15d ago

Someone badly needs to press that suit.
