The 19-year-old who died in Fier is falsely identified as Ardit Gjebrea's son

HIBRID

A YouTube channel called "Interesting Facts" has published a video (March 12), titled "TRAGEDY for Ardit Gjebrean | 19-year-old boy dies".

After verifying the facts by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the reader of the report attached to the video in question reports a reaction by singer Ardit Gjebrea on social networks, following an incident in Fier, from which a 19-year-old man was killed (here).

The first part of the title, which announces the tragedy of Ardit Gjebrea, may influence the audience to understand the information as the death of the singer's 19-year-old son. Until the handling of this content, the video has managed to accumulate 9 thousand 800 views.

Hibrid.info has verified the facts and found information about Ardit Gjebrea's family, in an article showing that the singer-songwriter is the father of two children, Joni and Ana (see here).

To confirm that Gjebrea's son, Joni, was not affected by the tragedy alleged in the video-material above, hibrid.info has found his personal Instagram account, on which Joni is quite active (see here).

While a post made public last year, on moderator Gjebrea's Instagram account, also found after research by hibrid.info, shows that Jon Gjebrea turned 32 last year (see here).

Further research on Ardit Gjebrea's social media does not substantiate the alleged announcement in the video, that the latter made a public reaction after the death of the 19-year-old in Fier (see here and here).
