Claim: Sylvester Stallone was found dead at his Los Angeles home at age 69.
Origin:In September 2016, several Facebook users encountered a fraudulent message claiming that actor Sylvester Stallone was found dead at his home in Los Angeles.
The above-displayed Facebook message linked to a clickbait web site known for creating and sharing celebrity death hoaxes.
This web site spreads misinformation in an attempt to bait people into giving away their information.
Sylvester Stallone is not dead. When we bypassed the above-displayed permission request, we were greeted with a story about the actor’s son, Sage, who passed away in 2012.
It would be national news if Stallone really had passed away, and so far “News” stories about his alleged death are all connected to this malicious web site.
