evidence: A letter dated July 23, 2024, authentically announced the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and featured the slang terms "baddie," "throat goat" and "Brat." On July 23, 2024, online users and publications shared a purported breaking news item claiming former U.S. President Jimmy Carter died at the age of 99. Some of the postings shared an official-appearing letter supposedly making the announcement about the country's 39th president. However, at least one part of the letter revealed it to be a fake. The fabricated letter involved both a death hoax and an apparent attempt at humor. The first paragraph of the fake letter read, "Former President Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.), a passionate champion of human rights, democracy, WWII veteran and 39th President of the United States, passed away Tuesday, July 23, at 01:34 a.m., at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 99. He died peacefully, with family by his side."
