The news of his death was announced by the author Martin Gianello.
The spread of the news that the iconic philosopher Noam Chomsky has passed away has caused confusion on the internet.
However, his wife denies that the 95-year-old intellectual has passed away.
The news of his death was announced by the author Martin Gianello with a post, and then many foreign media outlets reported it, resulting in “luring” other people of science into posts.
The news was reported by the Jacobin magazine, the New Statesman and the philosopher Steven Pinker among others.
The two media, as well as the American philosopher, deleted their posts.
Reports that Noam Chomsky has died are false, his wife Valeria tells me,” ABC reporter Chris Looft said in a post on X.
“It’s fine,” Valeria Chomsky reportedly told him.

“Chomsky is not dead. I just spoke with Valeria, his wife,” tweeted Cauê Seigner Ameni, a Brazilian journalist.
Chomsky has suffered a stroke some time ago.
He is in Brazil with his wife.
