'Hillary Clinton Death' Hoax: ABC News 'Reported' She Died After Suffering ‘Medical Episode’ At 9/11 Ceremony [Video]

According to the blog, "Based on rogue reports, it is now our understanding that Hillary Rodham Clinton may in fact be dead."

The website's right-wing readers were clearly delighted about the supposed news that Clinton had died in a "local hospital."

The blog claimed that Clinton died on September 11 after she left Ground Zero, but the Clinton campaign was concealing the information. The blog also claimed it was a "body double" that was seen leaving Chelsea's East 26th apartment in New York a few hours later.

"Did Hillary die after leaving the 9-11 Ceremony in New York... and the information is being concealed?"

According to the blog Earn the Necklace, anchorman Joe Torre "wrongly reported" that Clinton had died during WABC-TV Channel 7 New York's Eyewitness News broadcast.

The hoax reports sparked searches on Google for news about the Democratic presidential candidate's alleged death, with the terms "Hillary Clinton death" surging briefly on Google Trends. Several social media users uploaded the alleged recording of the news segment that appeared to show Torre talking about the death of the former secretary of state.

Remonstrations that the report was false sparked an immediate backlash, with conspiracy theory allegations that the Clinton campaign was hiding information about the death of the presidential candidate.

The Inquisitr reported that Clinton left the memorial ceremony abruptly at about 9:30 a.m. after feeling weak and that she stumbled, her knees buckled, and she appeared to faint as aides led her into a van.

Footage uploaded to Twitter showing Clinton stumbling and appearing to slump as she was led into a van went viral online and reignited old conspiracy theory rumors about her health.

However, Clinton kept the diagnosis secret, choosing to tell only family and close aides, the Hill reports. She reportedly kept the news private out of fear that it could be exploited by her political opponents.
