More than a few people fell victim to an article entitled “Ryan Tubridy Found Dead Inside” on satirical news website Waterford Whispers. “Satirical” is in bold for emphasis.
Choice quotes from the article include:
The radio and television presenter was said to have been battling life for over forty years, and it is not known when exactly he passed away.
“He may have been dead for quite some time,” said a doctor outside the star’s home today. “We believe he may have died inside over three years ago.”
Experts believe Mr Tubridy died on air during a Cuba Gooding Jr interview on The Late Late Show in 2011.

The presenter demonstrated a great grasp of satire this morning by posting a selfie on Twitter with a great big thumbs up, just to reassure us all that he’s alive and kicking. How thoughtful of him.
