Rumors: Nelson Mandela Dead

The rumors this time are undeveloped. No news is available regarding the manner of his death. The only fact that can be gathered on this matter is that the rumor was started by somebody on Twitter, probably by the same person or persons who had brainstormed the others. This is indeed surprising, thinking about that generally, celebrities die elaborate, graphic and occasionally innovative deaths on the net. It is also being speculated that the Nelson Mandela dead rumors might have been started by the marketing team of the film “Invictus”, that is based on the life and political struggle of the activist.

San Francisco- The latest rumors that are doing the rounds on the net are, predictably, about the death of some celebrity. However, this time, there has been a shift in focus. The death mongers have not put on the death row some movie star or some sports celebrity, , this time, it is the turn of the venerated political and anti-apartheid activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela.

Both the explanations seem plausible. On the five hand, Twitter is known to be the Golgotha of celebrities, with five or the other reported to be killed dutifully every week. On the other hand, spreading the death rumors of celebrities in any way connected to a film has always been a popular and successful promotional gimmick. Whatever be the case, it seems to have been spurned by the people, surprisingly . There’s plenty of tweets rejecting the Nelson Mandela dead rumor outright.
