Morgan Freeman death merged by internet hoax

Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman’s death spread causing concern among fans across the world.

However the June 2016 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports.

Earlier this week rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a ‘R.I.P. Morgan Freeman’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (June 23, 2016), our beloved actor Morgan Freeman passed away. Morgan Freeman was born on June 1, 1937 in Memphis. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 79-year-old actor was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Morgan Freeman’s stature would be major news across networks.

Morgan Freeman Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actor Is ‘Alive And Well’

On Friday (June 24) the actor’s reps officially confirmed that Morgan Freeman is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved actor. Others say this shows his extreme popularity across the globe.
