Has Jeremy Renner passed away?
Jeremy Renner, the renowned Marvel star, recently grabbed headlines due to a false article that claimed the actor had passed away following a bizarre escalator accident.
These rumors spread on June 23, 2023, leaving everyone in shock.
However, it is important to clarify that Jeremy is indeed alive and in good health.
DEATH HOAX SURROUNDING JEREMY RENNER
Shortly after the death hoax, Twitter became abuzz with hashtags like ‘RIP Jeremy Renner’ trending. The frenzy began when a photoshopped image of a misleading headline from The Guardian went viral. Although the original article couldn’t be found on any news outlets, the doctored image sparked false rumors.
The image of the alleged article read, “Jeremy Renner, actor, passes away at age 52 from freak escalator accident. Avengers star was left in critical condition and peacefully died in a San Jose hospital.”
REACTIONS
Some Twitter users promptly pointed out the futility of falling for such rumors. One user wrote, “#RIPJeremyRenner – On the contrary, actor Jeremy Renner is alive and well, as a simple Google search confirms. The most disheartening aspect of social media is realizing how many imbeciles and grifters there are in this world who propagate lies or lack critical thinking skills.”
The fact that #RIPJeremyRenner is trending on Twitter, despite Jeremy Renner being very much alive, speaks volumes about Twitter’s current content moderation abilities. — Jeremy Goldman

I fail to comprehend why people want to toy with Jeremy Renner, pretending he has died. This man persevered after breaking a significant number of bones in his body. Such behavior is utterly foolish. People need to find a different hobby. JFC. — Poppy in Portland
Everyone involved in spreading this stupidity can go to hell ðŸ˜áðŸ˜áðŸ˜á @JeremyRenner is alive and well. But to whoever fabricated the news of his death, I hope you experience a hundredfold the pain Jeremy endured during these five and a half months….. Karma works.
