Rumors of the dancer’s alleged demise gained traction on Friday after a ‘R.I.P. Carrie Ann Inaba’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American dancer’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (November 22, 2024), our beloved dancer Carrie Ann Inaba passed away. Carrie Ann Inaba was born on January 5, 1968 in Honolulu. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (90%) of respondents think those Carrie Ann Inaba death rumors are not funny anymore.
