Rumors About Josh Duggar's Passing Resurface Online

As we all know, Josh Duggar is currently in jail in Arkansas.

But somehow, a fake obituary that claims Josh passed away last summer is making the rounds on the internet…again.

Back in July 2021, fans noticed an obituary for Josh online. But since we’ve seen that he attended his own trial in November, it was clearly false.

So who is behind this strange obituary?

Over the summer, The Hollywood Gossip reported about an obituary for Josh Duggar that surfaced on social media.

“Josh Duggar Death—Josh Duggar Obituary | Cause of Death,” the headline read.

An image below the headline, which was dated July 3, 2021, read, “You are always loved and never forgotten. May your soul rest in peace!”

It was very strange at the time since it was clear that Josh was very much alive. But now, members of the r/DuggarsSnark Reddit community are talking about the obituary again.

“Just heard of this unfortunate and untimely passing,” one Redditor jokingly titled the post. They shared a screenshot from Google that read, “What Duggar passed away 2021?”

A quote from agroworld.kz read, “We’re pained as we learnt on July 7th, 2021, that Josh Duggar has died. Like every day, the coming to an end of the Josh Duggar life has sent shivers down the spine of many.”

“Who wants to break it to Kazakhstan that he is still alive?” one commenter wrote.

“These websites are so weird. They even pop up for non-celebrities,” another added.

Josh was recently found guilty on both charges of possessing and receiving child pornography. He is currently in custody according to The Sun.

During the trial, The Sun reported that Gerald Faulkner, an Investigations Special Agent with Homeland Security, called the files found on the Duggar son’s computer “in the top five of the worst of the worst that I’ve ever had to examine.”

According to Radar Online, Josh Duggar is being held in solitary confinement for “safety reasons” at the Washington County Detention Center.

There is new information about the circumstances leading to his arrest. Daily Mail obtained exclusive copies of audio recordings of federal agents interviewing Josh Duggar.

Before law enforcement could even begin their questions, Josh questioned, ”Has someone been downloading child pornography?”

After that response, the agents read Josh his rights and began recording. The file was acquired via the Freedom of Information Act.

“I own this business. I also do some real estate as well,” he explained at the beginning of their interview. “My dad has commercial properties so I help with the management. I dabble in a lot of things. This is, you know, this is probably my primary income as far as that goes.”

When asked about “peer2peer” programs like Tor Browser, Josh admits that “probably all” of his computers have that type of software downloaded.

This type of software is used to protect privacy and anonymously share files. It can be used for illicit material on the dark web.

He detailed, “We upload stuff for our cars and things like that. I’ve had a friend of mine that came and set us up with file sharing so we could do, you know, more encrypted type stuff. He just said, it’s safer that way. He got me onto it to be safer.”

When Agent Gerald Faulkner spoke about some of the crimes that he and his fellow agents work to prevent, it quickly became clear why they were there.
