Hulk Hogan Dead? Former Pro Wrestler Killed By Death Hoax

Hulk Hogan dead reports have quickly spread earlier this week. As soon as the news broke out, his fan from all over the globe became immediately concerned.

However, it turns out that the reports were false. Thankfully for Hogan's fans, the former pro wrestler was just the latest victim of this string of fake celebrity death reports. He is alive and well.

The rumors that Hulk Hogan dead first got traction on Friday when a Facebook page entitled, "RIP Hulk Hogan" was made. It has now attracted nearly a million "likes." Those who actually take the time to read the page's "About" page will even get a false blurb about how the famous actor died.

The report read, "At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (November 7, 2014), our beloved actor Hulk Hogan passed away. Hulk Hogan was born on August 11, 1953 in Augusta. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page."

Many of Hogan's fans were very quick in writing their messages of condolences on the "RIP Hulk Hogan" Facebook page. It would seem that a huge percentage of his fans quickly believed that the 61-year-old former WWE actor has, indeed, died. Of course, Twitter was also frenzied by this bit of news.

Fortunately, some people wanted to find out more about the report, as it could only be a death hoax. True enough, the skeptics were able to find out that the Hulk Hogan dead reports were truly just fake death reports. He has become one of the celebrities who have been bothered by insensitive death hoaxes over the recent months.

Some even pointed out that news of his death were not carried out by any major American network, proving that it was not real. Surely, the death of an actor of his stature would be major news that huge news networks would certainly cover.
