Havana Brown death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the dj’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Havana Brown’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Australian dj’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (November 03, 2024), our beloved dj Havana Brown passed away. Havana Brown was born on February 14, 1985 in Melbourne. She 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 39-year-old dj, singer and dancer 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 Australian network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a dj of Havana Brown'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 Havana Brown death rumors are not funny anymore.

Havana Brown Death Hoax Dismissed Since Dj Is ‘Alive And Well’

On Monday (November 04) the dj's reps officially confirmed that Havana Brown is not dead. “She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved dj. Others say this shows her extreme popularity across the globe.
