4. I believe this story may be a hoax

I started tracing the links from the article above to find the source of this report, it leads to a largely unsourced article at the Progressive Humanist's website, that references Tweets of people who reference the alleged tweets of the woman who died. But when I go to Twitter and search her name "Karen Kolb Sehlke," while I find plenty of tweets talking about her and this story, I find no account for her.

I'm not saying it definitely is a hoax, and the story is certainly not outside the realm of possibility. I would just urge folks to be a little careful about distributing this story, until it has been confirmed as being true.
