On 7 July 2014, the Empire News web site published an article positing that police had recently found at least 17 plastic-wrapped bodies in the Ohio River: Soon afterwards links and excerpts referencing this article were being circulated via social media, with many of those who encountered the item mistaking it for a genuine news article. However, the article was just a bit of satire from Empire News, a web site that publishes fictional stories such as Cure for Cancer Discovered; 'Amazingly Simple' Says Researcher, and College Student Excused from Classes After Dog Eats Grandmother, and Woman Gives Birth, Confuses Doctors by Asking for Maternity Test. Empire News's disclaimer page notes that it is a satirical and entertainment website.
