12. It seems that hospital visits can take at least 10 years off your face.

Is all I can say. But I do wonder if on Aug. 3 or there abouts all of a sudden he will fall again.

The verdict on Snopes.com is that the pictures are fake but they don't know if he's alive or not.The last statement they have was from July 7th and is below.

Mitch McConnell didn't post proof of life on X | Snopes.com https://share.google/NoIz6aPXEvy9xYHOK

The alleged proof of life from McConnell was fake. The post did not appear on the senator's actual X page. No reputable news sources (archived, archived, archived) reported that McConnell had been released from hospital or had given a public update about his health. Given the high level of public interest in McConnell's health, reputable media would have reported on such an update, if true.

Snip

Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he's receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.
