Tiger Woods is dead at 38. At least that's what a circulating report is claiming. The highest-paid athlete was allegedly found dead in his luxury vacation rental house in the Dominican Republic. However, it was found out later on that Tiger Woods isn't dead as he has just safely returned to his home after his first visit in India.
According to the said report, Tiger Woods was allegedly found dead in his vacation house near the Roko Ki golf resort in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Regional medical center and the Fire Department responded to the scene at around 8 a.m. when a call prompted them about the shocking discovery of the pro-golfer's unconscious body.
The caller remains unidentified as of late, but the call quickly prompted authorities to the emergency, the report said.
Dominican Republic authorities allegedly announced that a full investigation will be conducted as part of the routine procedure in accidental and natural deaths involving tourists.
Moreover, the report also claims that the family and representatives of Woods have asked for the investigation to go private and that they are requesting respect from the media in this time of "grieving and personal loss."
Although the report was somehow believable, it was found out later on that it was published by Global Associated News, a notorious site that generates false reports and celebrity death hoaxes.
It isn't clear if the news caused a frenzy on social media like what its other death hoaxes do.
However, if one stumbles upon this news, some sites claim that the best way to find out if its report is a hoax is to scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for its note about the fraudulent nature of the report.
The note reads: "THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic 'template' and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank 'non-specific' template for the purpose of entertainment."
Other celebrities and famous personalities who fell victim to the said site include: Will Smith, Woody Harrelson, Chloe Moretz, Carrie Underwood, PSY, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others.
