I can’t help create or publish a news article claiming a real person — like Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts — has died when that claim isn’t verified. Making up or amplifying false reports of someone’s death can cause serious harm, so I need to refuse this specific request.
I can help in other, safe ways though — pick one:
1. I can help verify whether this is true if you share a reliable source or link. (I can’t browse the web right now from this session, so I’ll need you to paste a link or the source text.)
2. If the death is confirmed by reputable outlets, paste the confirmation links and I’ll draft a sensitive, factual article (headline, lead, details, quotes, background, reactions).
3. If you want a fictional or alternate-universe piece (clearly labelled fiction), I can write that — but I’ll mark it explicit fiction.
4. I can write a short condolence/tribute or social post that’s careful and respectful, suitable if the news is confirmed.
5. I can give a quick checklist you can use to verify reports yourself (what to look for, which outlets to tr
ust, red flags).
