The fake death with the headline ‘Beloved actor and Back to the Future star Michael J. Fox died at age 57.’ trended previously. The article added that he died from pneumonia on August 2, 2018.

Promptly, the news appeared across various social platforms, with many users sharing the link. The story duped some netizens, asking if the statement were true, while others shared the story only to realise their mistake later.

Correspondingly, four years after Fox’s death speculation in 2018, the ‘Back to the Future’ and ‘Teen Wolf’ stars are hitting the headlines surrounding his death. Nonetheless, the news remains unsubstantiated.
