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

At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (October 31, 2024), our beloved actor Dash Mihok passed away. Dash Mihok was born on May 24, 1974 in New York. 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 American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Dash Mihok's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (94%) of respondents think those Dash Mihok death rumors are not funny anymore.
