Monrovia – Friends and supporters of Representative Munah Pelham-Youngblood were struggling to confirm information about her being alive on Monday evening after speculation heightened that the lawmaker had died while receiving medical treatment out of the country. Family sources confirmed to FrontPage Africa that the news of her demise was “a big lie”, adding that the lawmaker was still in direct communication with her mother and other relatives. However, the office of the lawmaker did not mention the name of the individual it claims to be behind the disinformation. Youngblood’s family or her office has not officially provided an update on the status of her health condition. She has been reportedly ill since mid-April and was flown out of the country to seek advanced medical care.
