Has the world lost one of its brightest stars? False reports and viral trends have recently ignited a wave of concern, falsely claiming the passing of the beloved Michael J. Fox. The rumors are simply not true.

Amidst the swirling misinformation, it's crucial to set the record straight: Michael J. Fox is still with us, continuing his fight against Parkinson's disease and advocating for a cure. The recent surge of fake news, particularly on platforms like Twitter/X, has caused unnecessary distress among his legions of fans. These reports, often citing fabricated details like death from pneumonia or complications from Parkinson's, are entirely unfounded. One such false report even went as far as to name a Los Angeles County Chief Coroner, Jonathan Lucas, as the source, further amplifying the deception. Such reports even circulated back in august with false information.
