Sarah Palin death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the politician’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Sarah Palin’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American politician’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday (February 04, 2026), our beloved politician Sarah Palin passed away. Sarah Palin was born on February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint. 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 61-year-old politician 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 American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a politician of Sarah Palin's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (89%) of respondents think those Sarah Palin death rumors are not funny anymore.
