Analysis Summary
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear stated in a July 15 Katie Couric interview that he received calls from unnamed agencies suggesting Senator Mitch McConnell had died while McConnell was hospitalized following a June fall. McConnell subsequently posted a photo of himself holding a current newspaper but has not provided additional health details, and multiple news outlets have since covered Beshear's account of receiving these death-suggesting calls. The post accurately reports what Beshear said during the interview — this is real reporting being covered across local and national news outlets.
