[General] Instead, this "presumed" presumption wasn't disproved to not be incorrect

Hello
I was reading this particular sentence over and over but I am unable to understand the bold part. Is there anyone who can rewrite it in a simple form? it is too complicated for me.


Until recently, LEMONY SNICKET was presumed to be "presumed dead." Instead, this "presumed" presumption wasn't disproved to not be incorrect. As he continues with his investigation, interest in the Baudelaire case has increased. So has his horror.

It's deliberately written to be so complicated that you can't understand it.

The intent seems to be humor.
