Bill Nye The Science Guy Death Hoax

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

Bill Nye is the latest victim of a death hoax.

The sick rumor was started on Twitter late Sunday until a “R.I.P. Bill Nye The Science Guy” topic began trending, which in turn spawned thousands of messages mourning his supposed death.

It is 100% false.

Nye is NOT dead.

As has happened with celebrities like Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift this summer, a social media rumor got out of hand and falsely “killed” Nye.

Nye was also falsely rumored to have died TWICE last year.

Gossip Cop has said it before and we’ll say it again: It’s time for these awful hoaxes to die out.

    To be completely honest I never heard of this man or his shows at all. The reason for that I don’t live in America or any English spoken country. Which shows?

    However, I do know that these kind of ‘jokes’ are getting tiresome and is not even funny.

    Bill’s not dead, he’s still alive and kicking climate-denier butt. Righty’s just mad he’s such an effective scientist and entertainer, and would probably make a better presidential candidate than that barrel-scrape the RNC dug up.

  • Veccles

    My mom took yoga with his wife. c: I still wanna meet him though. As a young atheist, and a huge fan of Nye, even before knowledge of his atheism. He made learning fun.
