A Post on X Falsely Identified the Victim of the NYC Subway Fire as a Woman Named Amelia Carter

Hours after the news broke of the woman's death, the X (formerly Twitter) account @minnie1254 shared a statement supposedly from the family of a woman named Amelia Carter. It was accompanied by a photo of a white woman with long brown hair. It claimed that the family of the 29-year-old woman was "devastated and heartbroken." This was allegedly posted to Instagram by Carter's family, who apparently went on to say she was a "beautiful soul who brought light into the lives of everyone who knew her."
