Unless you mean that is your opinion, there is no reports of this being a proved hoax... At least nothing like that on the front page results I went through.

That kind of shit is so tiresome.

The second most plausible explanation kinda aligns with the reality in the first part, at least:

a crazy person staged this and then escaped (and maybe killed him/herself.)

.. either way, why is this interesting? (is it even ethical to make something like prominent?)
