This photo has no provenance and is believed to be a fake.

  Correction. Since his name is spelled here with an “E” (“it’s Allan, not Allen) maybe it refers to someone other than EAP

When I was very young during family reunions or visits with the grandparents we frequently went to family cemeteries. There were many tombstones with pictures of the deceased.

Not only does it have no provenance, it doesn’t even resemble him at all, and certainly his terrible suffering before he finally died did NOT cause him to look younger, change the shape of his face and head, etc. If anyone has any info about who was the initial poster of this hoax, please let me know.
