Is Vicente Fernandez dead? Truth behind music legend's death rumors after bad fall

After rumors of singer, actor and film producer Vicente "Chente" Fernandez Gomez's death started circulating on Twitter, fans of the Mexican talent started mourning their idol on Twitter, offering their prayers and condolences. However, as it turns out there is no truth to these rumors. 

A month back, we had reported that Fernandez was in critical condition after taking a fall at his ranch. Fernandez’s son Vicente Jr said his father damaged his cervical vertebrae and has been put on sedation. Even though none of the singer's family members confirmed his death, many of his fans started believing in the hoax that “Charro de Huentitán" had died as of late Friday, September 10. Some of the other celebrities who became victims of death hoaxes include Margaret Wheeler, Chris Pratt, Ash Kaashh and Josh Duggar.
