George McFly's murder is reported in the Hill Valley Telegraph.
- " Doc waved Marty over to the one table left standing [in the trashed lab], and the large and heavy bound volume open there. As Marty brought his candle close to the pages, he realized this was one of those bound collections of newspapers — the kind you sometimes found in libraries. / The book was open to the local Hill Valley paper, dated March 16, 1973, the day after his father died. / Marty stared at the headline: / GEORGE McFLY MURDERED! / And in smaller type below: / Author Shot Dead in Apparent Holdup / Enroute to Receive Book Award! / Police Baffled, Search for Witnesses! "

George McFly in the Biffhorrific reality was the husband of Lorraine Baines McFly, before she was widowed and forced to marry Biff Tannen.
He was secretly murdered by Biff on March 15, 1973, as reported on the front page of the following day's issue of the Hill Valley Telegraph, while en route to receive a book award, and was buried in Oak Park Cemetery.
Emmett Brown showed Marty McFly the story of George's death in one of the bound collections of newspapers he had taken from the closed and boarded-up Hill Valley Public Library.
