Neymar Jr death hoax
‘He died about 11 a.m. On Thursday on 23rd of March 23, 2023, one of our beloved footballers Neymar has recently passed away,’ the hoax stated

This ‘News’ rapidly spread on Twitter, and all the fans on micro-blogging sites were then searching for correct and clear answers if the claims were true or not
Did Neymar Jr die?
No, the young 31-year-old player uploaded on his Instagram to his 206 million followers just less than a day ago. So the hoax is a complete lie. Plus, football representatives have released statements that have put these baseless claims to rest.
“He has joined the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by death hoaxes. He is still alive and well so just stop believing what you see on social media.”
The Facebook page has now been deleted along with the content. Neymar Jr is presently playing for the team Paris Saint Germain.
Is Neymar junior married?
The footballer is not married yet but has been in a relationship with model Bruna Biancardi. The two separated in August of 2022, but a birthday post posted in February confirmed that the two were back together.
The Brazilian footballer is now living his best life and hopefully, now there won’t be any more death hoaxes about the death of footballers.
