Fans of the late comedian Joan Rivers saw an odd message on her Facebook Page Friday morning that appeared to be a plug for the new iPhones.

#D’OH > The late #JoanRivers promotes #iPhone6 from beyond the grave. Steve Jobs could not be reached for comment http://t.co/N3qEEAgYKR— Merry Morud (@MerryMorud) September 19, 2014

The status update was quickly pulled. The account has a little more than 1 million followers.

TMZ, which spotted the status update, speculated that it was "clearly the result of a pre-negotiated deal with Apple."
