Corine Marienneau death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the musician’s alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a ‘R.I.P. Corine Marienneau’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the French musician’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (November 19, 2024), our beloved musician Corine Marienneau passed away. Corine Marienneau was born on March 7, 1952 in Paris. She 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 French network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a musician of Corine Marienneau's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (83%) of respondents think those Corine Marienneau death rumors are not funny anymore.
