Rumors of the television host’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Mathías Brivio’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Peruvian television host’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (November 03, 2024), our beloved television host Mathías Brivio passed away. Mathías Brivio was born on April 12, 1976 in Lima. He 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 (77%) of respondents think those Mathías Brivio death rumors are not funny anymore.
