Damar Hamlin Isn't Staying Silent On Conspiracy Theories About His Cardiac Arrest Recovery

Damar Hamlin had a tongue in cheek response for all those suggesting a stand in or body double may have taken his place at the Buffalo Bills game, sharing a photo to Twitter on January 23 of himself standing alongside a mural of himself and looking down alongside the caption, "Clone," with a ninja emoji.

The cryptic caption appeared to be in reference to a (pretty bizarre) rumor going around in which some social media users (like this one, this one, and this one) suggested Hamlin may have died on the field on January 2 and a fake version of him was sent out to the game to make it seem as though he is still alive. Of course, there were plenty dispelling the speculation too, with one person writing, "People really think damar Hamlin died, and there's a clone because they haven't shown his face. Do you not understand what happens to people go through something like that?" one person tweeted, suggesting his face may have been swollen as a result of his injury and medications. "To the people that sincerely think Damar Hamlin is a clone... seek help," another person bluntly tweeted.

TMZ Sports went as far as to question insiders about all the online clone chatter, with one source confirming that there is no truth at all to the speculation and it really was Hamlin at the game. So there we have it.
