15. I'm marking this report as bullshit until we see him in a video that provides enough context to prove it is not AI.

That picture means nothing. It could be real or fake. For one thing, he looked like death warmed over in the last known photos of him. In this picture he looks amazingly good for someone that has been in the hospital for weeks. Also the hands have that not quite right AI texture. The newspaper is a nice touch, but it's almost too convenient.
