There's an tik tok going around saying you are dead. If so, That's really sad bc you are are a great actor and I love watching movies that you star in
Some fans skipped the research and guessing game and went straight to the source, tagging Sandler in the inflammatory videos or asking him if he was alright directly. He does not seem to have responded to any of these queries.

The fact that this hoax came so soon after the real-life death of Bob Saget had fans all the more high-strung.

With the celebrity deaths happening, we have to protect @AdamSandler at all cost.

Realizing how devastated they would be to lose Sandler, many fans made hyperbolic calls for him to be protected from harm as much as possible.

In fairness, celebrity death hoaxes have become relatively easy to pull off since users often jump to conclusions when they see a celebrity's name on the trending topic list.

Finally, some fans thought that this was a confluence of bad omens for Sandler, as this week Outlander Magazine published a new photo series by Kevin Wong that included a somber portrait of Sandler. Once again, all indications say that Sandler is healthy and alive.
