Nati Abascal death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the fashion designer’s alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a ‘R.I.P. Nati Abascal’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Spanish fashion designer’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (April 23, 2024), our beloved fashion designer Nati Abascal passed away. Nati Abascal was born on April 2, 1943 in Seville. 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 81-year-old fashion designer 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 Spanish network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a fashion designer of Nati Abascal's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (69%) of respondents think those Nati Abascal death rumors are not funny anymore.
