Viral “Fox News” Claim Says Joe Biden, Jill Biden and Grandson Died in Plane Crash: What We Know A dramatic claim circulating online says that former U.S. President Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden and one of their grandchildren have died in a plane crash near the Canadian border.
Instead, the claim appears to be circulating through social media…
The post is written in the style of a breaking-news alert and
begins with language such as “Just In” and “Fox News,” followed by the claim that the former president and members of his family “perish” in a plane crash.
The wording is designed to create an immediate sense of urgency.
But there is a major problem with the story:
There is no credible evidence currently confirming that Joe Biden, Jill Biden or a Biden grandchild died in such a crash.
A search of current reporting does not produce a credible Fox News report, government announcement, aviation authority statement or major news report confirming the alleged deaths.
Instead, the claim appears to be circulating through social media, where posts can be copied and reshared thousands of times before anyone verifies whether the underlying story is genuine.
That distinction is extremely important when the claim concerns the death of a former president and members of his family.
The Claim Spreads Online The wording of the viral post is particularly striking.
