Is Chumlee from "Pawn Stars" dead? Chumlee has been the subject of not one, but two death hoaxes that have gone viral on social media. Rumors of a marijuana overdose were reported this week, claiming that the reality TV star had died from an accident.
Chum's death hoax started on The Internet Chronicle, which apparently completely fabricated a story about Chumlee being found dead by "Big Hoss" Harrison on Tuesday morning. The site listed the cause of death as marijuana overdose (that should have been your first clue).
While a marijuana overdose sounds unlikely and super suspicious but the site that started the rumor did their best to convince readers that Chumlee had died.
A few days later, Chumlee took to his Twitter account, shocking those who thought he had passed away. Those "few days" really helped fuel the rumors, though, and some people are still confused about the whole thing.
Chumlee, whose real name is, Austin Russell took to Vine to post a 6 second video to prove to anyone out there who may still believe in the death hoax. Watch the video below:
