US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.
The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.
Could also just prop his corpse up into position, with limbs held up by wires. A talented makeup artist/mortician could easily make his face look alive for one still photo.
Possibly, but that sounds like way more effort than simply using digital tools to achieve the same outcome.
