On 29^th May 2017, a report was initiated by a website “Last Line of Defense” that Actor Scott Baio was killed in a plane crash on his way to visit the U.S President Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, but 56 years old actor Scott Baio is alive and well. The website report indicated that 56 years old Scott Baio was killed when he was travelling in Cessna plane, but the single engine of the plane stopped working and plane was crashed into the hill side of Louisiana. Baio was travelling to Mar-a-Lago for barbecue shrimp and play gold with U.S President Trump. The website report mentioned that wife of Baio (Raylene) wasn’t on the plane.

We tried to find out authenticity of the published news; we assumed that the phrase “play gold with U.S President Trump” is an error. The author of the story needed to write “play golf with U.S President Trump”. Most important factor is that the website “Last Line of Defense” is well-known for publishing false stories and fake news, and the above published entire story regarding the death of actor Scott Baio is a work of fiction. A disclaimer on the website also indicated that entire publication of Last Line of Defense should be considered fictional and satirical. It was also said that the website presents fiction as fact and mentioned sources in the news and stories don’t originally exist. Any kind of similarity with the original names and places should be considered coincidental.
