We can’t completely comprehend your tweet, either.

Why is #RIPJCole trending? He didn't really die did he?

To the rescue, many tweeters put the rumors to rest:

#RIPJCole no way, he just texted me and he was like, bro I ain't dead

It looks like death by hashtag:

Let’s hope Twitter goes a few days without resurrecting the worn-out death hoax.
