Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a ‘R.I.P. Amaury Nolasco’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Puerto Rican actor’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (October 31, 2024), our beloved actor Amaury Nolasco passed away. Amaury Nolasco was born on December 24, 1970 in Puerto Rico. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

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 Puerto Rican network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Amaury Nolasco's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (92%) of respondents think those Amaury Nolasco death rumors are not funny anymore.
