Rumors of the television host’s alleged demise gained traction on Monday 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 Monday (December 23, 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.”

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 Peruvian network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a television host of Mathías Brivio's stature would be major news across networks.

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.
