Gabriel Aubry death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Gabriel Aubry’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the model’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (April 14, 2024), our beloved model Gabriel Aubry passed away. Gabriel Aubry was born on August 30, 1976 in Montreal. 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 47-year-old model 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 network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Gabriel Aubry's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (89%) of respondents think those Gabriel Aubry death rumors are not funny anymore.
