Robert Mueller just died.
Evidence and Verdict
For
Multiple major news organizations (NPR, AP, CNN, BBC, USA Today, and ABC) report that Robert Mueller has died at age 81. Several outlets cite a family statement announcing his passing, and the reports are consistent across independent news organizations.
Against
Among the provided sources there are no credible reports contradicting these accounts; all listed outlets corroborate the news. The family asked for privacy in initial statements, so some specifics (exact time, full cause details) may be limited in early coverage and could be clarified in follow-up reporting.
Verdict
Because multiple independent, reputable news organizations published consistent reports citing a family statement that Robert Mueller has died at 81, the claim is rated TRUE with high confidence.
