The thing that gets me is the timing of the announcement that his "girlfriend" died.
If this really is a hoax that Te'o has no idea about, and one or more people are behind this thinking "ok, this has gone to far- the best way to get out of this is to kill her off" Are they really going to announce her death on the same day his grandmother died?
On the other hand, if Te'o was in on it, I would think that would be a perfect time to announce her death- Just pile it on to gain the sympathy / whatever the heck he was trying to gain.
