The video and images featured in all of the stories shows a naked, emaciated man with weeping sores across his body. The Daily Mail shared the story here on its Facebook page, which has more than 17 million followers, and the LADbible story was shared here by the Facebook page OMG Facts, which has more than eight million followers. The JDaily Mail story is headlined: “'It kept me to eat later': Russian man 'looking like a mummy' is rescued after spending a MONTH inside a bear den after the predator broke his spine and saved him for a future meal”. The articles, for example here by LADbible and here from Britain’s Daily Mail, have been shared by social media accounts with more than 64 million followers, according to monitoring tool CrowdTangle. But the claim is false the images actually show a patient with a chronic skin disease receiving treatment in a hospital in Kazakhstan. The same images and similar claims have appeared in media reports in countries from France to Indonesia, and have been shared on social media accounts with tens of millions of followers. Graphic images of a man covered in blood, sores and dirt have appeared in articles by publications including the Daily Mail and LADbible which claim they show a man in a “mummified state” rescued after spending a month in a bear cave in Russia.
