On Aug. 14, Michel, 28, refuted a rumor on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating he died in a motorcycle accident, according to MassLive.
“Fake news,” he wrote.
In the viral tweet posted on X, a sports handicapper announced the news of Michel’s supposed death.
“I am hearing that it’s alleged former Georgia Bulldog and two time Super Bowl Champion Sony Michel passed away last night in a motorcycle accident in Lauderdale Lakes,” he wrote.
However, in a follow-up tweet, the user admitted he had “incorrect” information from his sources.
“Glad to hear he is still with us. Last time I try to report any news. Sorry guys,” he shared.
