Arpad Busson death hoax spreads on Facebook

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

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (November 03, 2024), our beloved business man Arpad Busson passed away. Arpad Busson was born on January 27, 1963 in Paris. 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 61-year-old business man 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 French network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a business man of Arpad Busson's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (76%) of respondents think those Arpad Busson death rumors are not funny anymore.
