Many people are questioning this. Maybe it is a misunderstanding, but she said she worked (or heavily implied) that they worked at ASU. No one else who works there knows who this is, and her tweets don’t line up with what happened at ASU with classes.

Hoaxes can do real damage, if it is one. If a staff member at ASU has passed away then it will be independently confirmed elsewhere.

You know what can also do real damage? Harassing people who are grieving from an anon account you made for that explicit purpose.

People who are grieving over the loss of a friend that ended up being a hoax is also incredibly damaging and manipulative.

I know that people want answers. But can we just like, show some basic human decency and wait even a few days and respect the fact that - the account being real or not - people are grieving right now?

Normally I would agree with you. But when the people who said they knew her won’t even answer a question about if she worked at ASU or not, things will start to fall apart regardless. And for people who work at ASU, then they would naturally want to know who it was.

But do you need those answers right now? Today? Or can you wait for those who are either grieving a friend or are both grieving and have been manipulated by a fake account process and deal with this in their own time and way?

If people are calling out the ASU and demanding they be accountable for this person’s death, and people start to ask questions, then I’m not sure what else was going to happen.

I don’t think people who are grieving from hearing about the death of a friend on twitter should be harassed for answers about someone they didn’t know IRL, but most people were asking in good faith about a colleague.

Regardless of what the truth is, I hope it comes out soon, and in a sensitive manner to all those impacted. I don’t think it should come at the expense of the mental health of those who may have been manipulated for months or years, though.

Many people who seem to have been close to this person online have distanced themselves and are rightfully upset. But now when people are digging in their heels then it is natural for others to be upset

Especially if they are a part of the LGBTQ+ community at ASU, and/or BIPOC.
