There is no automatic verification system attached to text written on an image.
A photograph saying someone died does not prove that they died.
The same principle applies to logos.
A fake post can include a recognizable-looking news logo.
That doesn’t mean the news organization published it.
When in doubt, go directly to the organization’s website rather than trusting an image circulating online.

Some people share questionable death reports because they aren’t completely certain.
They may think:
“I’ll share it so people can find out.”
