👋🏻 Today is my last day at BBC News
After nearly 11 years I'm leaving my staff position as a senior reporter and presenter to go freelance and work on some other projects
But I really hope to cross paths with the BBC again because what a ride it's been so far

Just a quick note on how BBC News verifies deaths in order to report them
Yesterday I was assigned the death of online star Lil Tay
A statement on her Instagram page said she, along with her brother, had died
I contacted her management to double check it was true

I guess this is just a thread to explain the 10+ hours of journalism that sometimes goes on that readers, listeners, and viewers don’t always get to see
It’s also just a reminder that just because it’s online - and even on a verified Instagram account - it isn’t always true

Her management did not reply
There were alarm bells ringing for me because the social media page had been inactive for five years
I also contacted multiple police forces, both in the US and in Canada, where Lil Tay had links with
No police were aware of the deaths

But there was nothing
I couldn’t confirm Lil Tay and her brother had died, and so BBC News couldn’t report it
Late last night it transpired - via TMZ - it wasn’t true and the Instagram account had been compromised in some way

I did this via email as well as on the phone
There were a lot of questions and, from 10+ years of experience, press officers often give more information on background when it’s not in writing
But there was no information on background
No police force was aware of any incident

Around the same I received a reply from Lil Tay’s management
The instagram statement announcing the death was also deleted

Meanwhile it seemed a lot of publications were either reporting Lil Tay was dead at 14
Or they had articles explaining “the mystery” surrounding it
I continued speaking with police forces to try and piece together something
Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and professional

He’s so brutally honest about grieving over his mum in both the interview and the song.
