Confession Bear, one of the go-to "advice animal" memes on Reddit, is typically used as a medium for admitting minor quirks, such as embarrassing TV addictions or intimate bathing practices.

One Redditor, previously known as "Naratto", took the meme a step further on Saturday by using the image to confess to an apparent murder.

"My sister had an abusive meth addict boyfriend - I killed him with his own drugs while he was unconscious and they ruled it as an overdose," he wrote.

Many Redditors were left wondering if the post, titled "Finally Have The Guts To Say It", might be more than just a dark joke. According to the Daily Dot, users tracked down Naratto's personal details - real name, date of birth, previous jobs, social media accounts - within minutes of the post going live. One user apparently even forwarded the comments to the FBI.

Naratto deleted the account shortly afterward, then posted a follow-up saying his comments were only partially true. That post, and his account, were soon deleted as well.

A handful of users equated the confession with TV crime drama Breaking Bad, where a character was killed in a similar way, hinting that it might in fact be a joke.

At time of writing, there was no official word if the FBI - or any authorities - would be looking into the matter.
