Sundar Pichai death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the business man’s alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a ‘R.I.P. Sundar Pichai’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American business man’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (September 16, 2025), our beloved business man Sundar Pichai passed away. Sundar Pichai was born on July 12, 1972 in Madurai. He 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 53-year-old business man 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 business man of Sundar Pichai's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (75%) of respondents think those Sundar Pichai death rumors are not funny anymore.
