Comment on Why do Brits act like if you fall into a canal, you'll likely drown? UK canals are only waist-deep. Is it an inside joke?

  I’m fairly sure this is a different account owned by the same individual. They are a very strange individual.

    The did the same thing last I saw - people were commenting that he’d posted the same story from multiple accounts. They pointed out that all of the sources were trash/conspiracy sites, and explained why it’s not that weird, but he just keeps posting it over and over.

  I can’t help but wonder if they’re from the area (or the UK at all) or if this is a fixation on two people they don’t even know. I’d be pretty upset if a stranger kept posting repeatedly about my family member’s death like that, like it’s not already upsetting enough to have someone you know die without a random person on the internet trying to use their death to rile everyone up.

    I don’t know about you, but if I had a family member die and the news narrative was equivalent to “fell out of a window”, I’d be upset too, and would want to know the truth.

      They’re not asking for that, though, are they?

      Sounds like there’s a lot more to this puzzle than just s “no stupid question”.
