The owner of Marlboro tobacco company died of lung cancer.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (29/100).
The evidence reviewed indicates that there is no verification of the claim that the owner of the Marlboro tobacco company died of lung cancer. Joseph Cullman, a significant figure in Philip Morris, died in 2004, but there is no record indicating lung cancer as his cause of death. No authoritative fact-checks assert this claim. Available evidence does not support the claim, resulting in a low factScore and confidenceScore.
