The claim
In a social media post, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah’s office made a grammatically incorrect statement announcing his death.
Original review summary
The review says the viral screenshot resulted from Facebook’s incorrect auto-translation of a Kannada post, not an announcement of Siddaramaiah’s death. The original post said he paid respects to actress B. Sarojadevi, who had died on 14 July 2025.[S1]
