Adam Sandler has been falsely declared dead once again. Bogus posts circulating on social media websites claim that the actor has died in a snowboarding accident.

“Actor - Adam Sandler Dies In Snowboard Accident THIS STORY IS STILL DEVELOPING. Actor Adam Sandler is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today - October 13, 2013,” the bogus posts identified by Hoax Slayer read.

“The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Adam Sandler lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed.”

Adam Sandler is not dead. Instead, this is just another celebrity death hoax made up with the aid of a bogus news website that allows users to make up such stories about any celebrity.

Unfortunately, many users have failed to verify the legitimacy of the news article and reposted it.

This is not the first time when Adam Sandler is falsely declared dead. Such bogus stories made the rounds several times in the past.
