The 4 choices are 4 of the most famous deaths rumored to have been faked for one reason or another. Which do you think is most likely to have been faked?

My pick is Hitler as there really is no proof he was killed other than a person resembling him found and later burned by Russians, so no way to verify it was him. He was known to have multiple body doubles and I can't imagine he would have offed himself instead of escaping. Plus there are alleged sightings in South America and a strong presence of Nazi's were also there to help hide him. Who do you say?

I don't subscribe to many conspiracy theories but I wouldn't be surprised if news broke that Hitler had been captured by the Russians instead of committing suicide.

I believe Seymour Hersh's account of bin Laden's death over the story that we were officially fed (not that there's a huge difference between the two accounts, but still).

Can't we agree on a helluva lot more Tupac sightings? I mean . . . honestly?

I don't have a strong opinion on anyone but Bin Laden. That POS was killed as advertised.

The most likely fake is Tupac in my opinion. There are lots of ties to Machiavelli, fake deaths, etc

None of those deaths were fake IMO, however, the two least likely to be fake are Tupac and Elvis. What reason did those guys have to fake their own deaths?

Hitler and Bin Laden had many reasons to fake their own deaths, but I still don't think they did.

Tupac did it for record sales, he is certainly not dead

Talked with a guy I knew was in Naval intelligence in Bagdad. He and I both agreed that the story released about bin Ladens body being chunked outta a helicopter into the Indian ocean was just that. A story. That begs the question "why." Obviously they didn't want to produce a body. "Why?" Because they didn't have a body. They either missed him, or they captured him. I don't think they would have said a thing if they had missed him.

No proof. Just 2 ex-spooks chattin'.

The Hitler myth is pure bunk. The Russians kept his teeth and jaw and they matched his dental records. Also for the OP, it was the Germans that tried to burn his body and not the Russians.

"Adolf Hitler definitely died in 1945," reportsAgence-France Presse, which explains that in March and July of 2017, Russia’s FSB, the successor to the Soviet Union's KGB, gave a team of French pathologists access to Hitler’s jawbone and teeth.

It's well-documented that the Nazi leader had notoriously bad teeth and gum disease (which led to some extremely bad breath in the last years of his life); by the end, he had only a few of his original chompers left, which left him with a complicated set of bridges and dentures. That, according to the forensic team, made ID’ing his jawbone relatively simple. The teeth appear to match X-rays taken of Hitler in 1944 and descriptions provided to the Soviets by Hitler’s dentist and his dental assistant.

“The teeth are authentic, there is no possible doubt. Our study proves that Hitler died in 1945," Philippe Charlier, lead author of the study in the European Journal of Internal Medicine, tells AFP. “We can stop all the conspiracy theories about Hitler. He did not flee to Argentina in a submarine, he is not in a hidden base in Antarctica or on the dark side of the moon.”

No way. Tupac would have made far more money had he stayed alive. These artists make most of their money from touring anyway. Plus he would have continued acting and raking in dough there too. Basically he'd be Ice Cube or Snoop Dogg now.
