I really wanted this headline to be real, but I can’t find it anywhere. I think it’s a photoshopped headline about the real event. Hope someone proves me wrong and provides a link.
Seems to be fake. Author Phil McKracken seems to be badly spaced and is a name often used for practical jokes, and doesn't appear to have written any other articles.
Fake image, but the story of him being shot and dying from it is real.
One way to tell is that people don't get denied medical care because they don't have insurance, they get denied care because the hospital doesn't think they'll be able to pay. It doesn't matter to the hospital if the money comes from insurance or out of the patients pocket. Unlike most patients, this guy can afford 7 figure medical bills.
I assumed that, if it was true, it was because they didn’t know his identity at the time.
Seems unlikely... Even if he was alone he would still be wearing expensive clothes, probably a suit.
Photopea was used in this instance
Seeing as the author byline is a dirty pun and the title's punctuation doesn't make sense, I'm pretty sure it's a fake headline.
I didn’t even notice the pun after searching for “Phil McKracken” for at least 30 minutes.
