Fake news releases sent to news organizations in official-looking e-mails Monday and Tuesday announced the deaths of three Democratic senators, but all three say they're feeling just fine.

Sen. Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey were targeted. The Senate sergeant at arms and the Capitol Police are investigating the messages, The New York Times reported.
