In a separate tweet, the user continued, “Jeremy Renner is alive. He was almost killed by a snowplow, but had multiple surgeries and is recovering. Had he died, Google would have automatically updated his bio to include the date of death and you won’t see it there because HE’S…NOT…DEAD.”
A user also didn’t seem amused with the false news going viral on social media. The netizen went on to say, “For fuck’s sake, children… knock it off with the Jeremy-Renner-is-dead bullshit. Jeremy Renner is not dead, and your hoax-spreading isn’t funny.”
