So think twice about jumping on the rumor bandwagon. Please read reputable sources before furthering the disinformation frenzy. If Hugh Hefner was truly dead, this event would be covered in many media outlets, including MSNBC, ABC, Fox, TV, radio, and online sources.
The internet is a wonderful place to get an early glimpse of the news. News breaks via Twitter, Facebook, and even OMG! put a “man on the ground” perspective to the news. However, when it comes to a topic as sensitive as death, be it Hugh Hefner, Amy Winehouse, or Michael Jackson, please consider the negative impact of spreading or helping to spread these kind of rumors.
For those of you who came here worried about Hugh Hefner and what his death would mean to Playboy, I suggest visiting the source, Playboy does have an online presence after all.
Rest assured, Hugh Hefner is alive. This rumor did have one positive side, we can see how many people The Heff has touched, how many people came to check to find out if he died.
