How can I tell if someone's lying online?

Not all news reports are found online and the SSDI must miss at least a few people. Is the story itself plausible-sounding? Would a coroner say such a thing?

I would say it's fake. Do you thing it is a coincidence that the person doesn't have any evidence? He also used a pathetic excuse to avoid revealing the name of the newspaper... That's even worse than a folk tale if you ask me...

I mean would a coroner say those things. And if not then why not ? Am I the only one who thought that statement was surreal?

Possibly there was no coroner?

I mean if there was a coroner. It would be possible to tell if someone was strangled with thighs (different pattern of bruising etc)

He said it was a very small town and there's a big divide between the jock and nerd types. Would it be legal for a coroner to speculate that nerds did it?

I think a coroner can assume how did someone got strangled. That isn't the strange part.

You provide us more information. That doesn't make the story more credible, but it makes more sense as a folks tale. Maybe what the coroner meant is that, the bruises of the strange seems to be made from a weaker/non-athletic person. I am not sure it that is easy to distinguish.

So what would be evident to the coroner at the autopsy that the thighs that had strangled him belonged to a non-athletic person?

This is becoming more and more of a forensics problem.
