The story published Dec. 28 by
MJ Celebrity Magazine that has been shared and liked on Facebook about 100,000 times, involves the same 35-year-old minister, Pastor Franck Kabele, whose apparent death was first reported on in 2006 by the Glasgow Daily Record's website.
While the original URL for
the report was no longer active, a columnist for the Daily Record, as the Scottish publication is now called, did
note in his 2006 year-end review of humorous news reports: "A priest drowns in West Africa after trying to demonstrate how Jesus walked on water! Could have been even more tragic, I suppose. At least 5,000 of his mates didn't starve to death."
