    A friend of \u201cAmerica\u2019s most inbred family\u201d has addressed cruel rumours that one of the most severely disabled members has died.<\/p>\n

    The Whittaker clan, who live in a run-down shack in Odd, Virginia, suffer from numerous birth defects after their ancestors married each other.<\/p>\n

    Ray, now 70, is among the most severely affected and can only communicate by grunts.<\/p>\n

    A cruel rumour emerged online over the last few days that he had died but a pal of the group, Lauren, has said he's still very much alive.<\/p>\n

    The former marijuana smuggler told her YouTube followers: \u201cWhat we need to start doing is sending him love because he is having some pain in his leg.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Lauren says Ray's problems are just the general aches and pains associated with old age.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt's just sad how many people think that he's dead and we still have him here,\u201d Lauren continued. <\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s not like he has outlets where he can say that he's still alive, so it's up to people like me that have visited him to let you know that he's doing okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Alongside rumours of Ray\u2019s death sweeping the internet, Luaren had also seen reports that his older sister Betty had died as well.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHundreds of thousands of people are watching these videos, so obviously people are believing it but they're still alive," she said.<\/p>\n
