WHY IS 'ADAM SANDLER DEAD' TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

Rumors of Sandler's untimely demise began to surface on TikTok and Twitter, presumably as part of a bizarre fad, causing concern among the actor's avid supporters.

The outlandish online trend allegedly claimed that the 55-year-old actor died of drowning, while another rumor reportedly stated that Sandler passed away after being involved in a fatal accident.

One Twitter user lamented that fans would never be able to witness Sandler's future projects, while another tweeted, "Can't believe Adam Sandler just died."

Another netizen claimed to be devastated by the legendary actor's passing, posting on the online platform "no one even addressed it" along with a blue heart emoji.

However, it was determined that some social media users were engaging in an odd trend of informing other netizens about Sandler's alleged death to garner real-time reactions.

After learning that the trend was a hoax, most netizens were visibly shocked and outraged by the erroneous information. Another fan felt relieved, while an irate user posted, "do not play with me on this fine morning."

Meanwhile, another user dismissed allegations of Sandler's untimely demise, asserting that the veteran actor is "pretty much alive" and is rarely seen online because he no longer stars in comedy films.

Besides being busy promoting his new film "Hustle," Sandler has other new projects in the works. The famous actor also kept a low profile, which fueled suspicions about his alleged death.

Sandler, contrary to popular opinion, is still alive. The actor from "Happy Gilmore" has recently updated his Instagram page with new photographs, including a homage to the late comedian Bob Saget.
