The FDNY said a 4chan post which claimed Jeffrey Epstein died well before it was first reported in the media did not come from the department.
A social media post detailing the death of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein made well before the official announcement did not come from within the New York City Fire Department, officials said Tuesday.
"Dont ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago," the post read, along with a picture of Pepe the frog, a meme that has been co-opted by the alt-right."Screencap this.” "The FDNY reviewed the alleged information and determined it did not come from the Department," Deputy Press Secretary Myles Miller told USA TODAY. BuzzFeed initially reported the department was opening an investigation, but Miller described the article as"inaccurate" and noted that"at no time was there an investigation."
Epstein was found"unresponsive in his cell shortly after 6:30 a.m. Saturday and was rushed to a hospital." Authorities have released few details on his death, but the Manhattan Correctional Center referred to it as an apparent suicide.
