The Claim
A media website 102.5viral.com published an article with pictures of actor Michael B. Jordan claiming that the actor is dead.
Fact Check
Is actor Michael B. Jordan really dead?
No evidence shows that the actor is dead. Jordan is a famous actor and has worked in hit dramas and movies like Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther.
No proof explains the reason behind the no media coverage to support the claim made by the 102.5viral.com website.
We even looked into the actor’s official Twitter and Instagram accounts and found no update.
The video has many advertisements that might be clickbait for readers to download malware through deceptive pop-up windows. These windows prompt people to download something.
We found similar articles “10 minutes ago in Chicago, Actress Judi Dench († 88) died suddenly at the hospital” and “10 minutes ago in Chicago, ‘America’s Got Talent’ Simon Cowell died suddenly at the hospital” that suggests that the claimed article is fabricated.
On January 2, 2023, Business Insider reported, “Kids are pranking their parents on TikTok by telling them celebrities have died. Angela Bassett’s son may have killed the trend by bluffing about her colleague, Michael B. Jordan.” Follow-up Twitter posts around this story are available here.
