Asking Resident Evil movie fans...?

I'm looking forward to the next installment of the Resident Evil movies, so I keep checking out the gossip about it. What I want to know is, is it really true that there's a newspaper clipping shown at the end of RE or RE2 saying that Leon Scott Kennedy was killed? I read that on ScreenRant, but I don't recall seeing that. I own all the RE movies, and I've combed the endings of the first two in Slow-Mo, but the only newspaper clipping I see is in the first part with a headline that says the dead walk. The rest of the article is too indistinct to make out the rest of the text, but I don't see anything that remotely resembles Leon's name. The most I make out is S.T.A.R.S and military actions.

Can anybody set me straight on that? 'Cause I don't see anything like that. Could the writer of ScreenRant be wrong, or do you think they got to see something most of us viewers couldn't? The writer also said this article was shown at the end credits of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but I they're wrong about that; there's no article shown at the end of that one. I checked that out, too.

    Yes, it does say that Leon did die in the newspaper in the begging. It states "Jill was suspended from S.T.A.R.S. after the death of her partner, Leon S. Kennedy." The print is pretty small, but it is possible to make out what it says.

    yeah they're wrong, Leon hasn't been killed. it's a mistake. i don't think that there's anything about Leon in any of the live action films
