Several death hoaxes saying Vine stars King Bach--born Andrew Bachelor--and Bryan Silva were shot and killed have no shred of truth to them.
A fake CNN Twitter account says “Vine Sensation Andrew Bachelor ‘King Bach’ shot and killed” before linking to a bogus story about Silva being killed.
The original fake story about Silva was published on Huzlers.com, a satire website that has since been taken down.
The website frequently posts fake news stories, including the one about Silva. “Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satire news to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief,” the website states.
Silva has posted a large number of Vine updates since the death hoax went viral.
King Bach also posted a Vine on Wednesday, indicating that he’s also not dead.
However, a number of users on Twitter were questioning whether Bach or Silva were alive.
