Maybe this should go on /v/ but. I'll try here.
tl:dr at bottom.
Okay so I have this long time video game buddy. Never met him in real life. Well he goes silent for a nearly a week which isn't like him at all. Yesterday I get a message from someone claiming to be his brother saying that he died.
The message resembled my friend's spelling. He's god awful at spelling and no he's not a little kid he's 31 and got a wife.
We knew the name of his state and town and we googled around. There were no deaths in the news.
Fastword to tonight. My other buddy got a message from the brother saying that they were murdered and the house was set on fire.
Googled that and no reports of an arson that killed two people came up.
It really doesn't seem like his style to lie like this and I owed him grind quests in the video game.
Should I call the police in his county or the fire marshall just to get proof?
Is he lying to me or this just something to forget about?

"oh shit I'm so sorry, that's so terrible. hang on a minute, why's there nothing in the news>? no obituary either. Anon, what's your fucking problem?"
why don't you just ask him what his problem is?
no need to creep him out, but you can point to a lack of obituaries in the press etc.
otherwise just forget about this weirdo.

shit man, that's weird
but both options are still possible. Brothers could have similar writing styles and arson might be still investigated, which could possibly force media to be silent about it
maybe ask him, when will the burial take place?
but on the other hand - if the guy doesn't want to have anything in common with you, maybe you should let it be so.
