Larry The Cable Guy Dead At 60?

According to a recent report from The Sun, the death of Larry The Cable Guy picked up steam recently on several different social media platforms this month.

Fortunately, this means fans of Larry The Cable Guy really have nothing to worry about as he’s very much alive and this was nothing more than him being the victim of another death hoax. In January of this year, there was a tweet claiming Larry was shot to death in a gang-related incident:

In November of last year, several individuals admitted they were surprised to see Larry The Cable Guy on social media because they thought he had passed away.

In August of last year, there were also tweets from individuals believing he had passed away.

In February of last year, one individual noted they also believed the comedian had passed away.

Where Did He Go?

Per chatter on social media over the past year, one of the reasons fans suspected he was dead is because he “disappeared” for approximately a decade and no one knew what he was doing.

The headlines also revealed that many people don’t realize Larry is a character played by Daniel Lawrence Whitney and not a real person.
