A mysterious story has surfaced on social media regarding a tiny urn inscribed with the name "Zachary Levi Bowers," reportedly found in a parking lot. The discovery has gone viral, with many sharing a post that reads:
"PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE OWNER — We found this tiny urn with the name Zachary Levi Bowers with ashes in the parking lot. I think it fell out of someone’s bag or car. Please flood your feeds and pray she finds her way back to her family. It only takes seconds to share."
The post has prompted widespread sharing across various platforms, as users aim to help reunite the urn with its rightful owners. However, growing skepticism has also emerged, with some questioning the authenticity of the post.
One concerned Facebook user issued a warning against sharing the post, claiming, "PLEASE DON’T SHARE THESE SCAMS!! So far I have counted 47 different places this urn has fallen out in the parking lot. I’m sure seeing this all over Facebook doesn’t do anything to help his family feel better about this loss of their loved one."
These comments suggest that the story may be part of a scam or misinformation campaign designed to attract attention. The fact that the urn has supposedly been found in numerous locations raises further doubts about the story’s credibility.
Zachary Levi Bowers was a real person. Born on September 26, 1981, he passed away on September 18, 2019, just days before his 38th birthday. His services were handled by Midwest Cremation & Funeral Services, LLC, in Springfield, Missouri. For those who knew Zachary, seeing his name linked to a potential scam is both distressing and troubling.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the post, it is advised to exercise caution and refrain from sharing unverified information. Users should report suspicious posts to social media platforms and encourage others to do the same, ensuring that the spread of misinformation is minimized.
The situation underscores the importance of fact-checking before sharing information online, especially when it involves sensitive matters such as the loss of a loved one.
