Did tennis star Serena Williams die following a tragic car crash in Texas in September 2024, as a post on Facebook claimed? No, that's not true: As of September 25, 2024, there was no evidence to suggest that Williams had died. The legendary athlete posted on Instagram after the post about her supposed car crash was published. No major media outlets or law enforcement officials reported that she was involved in a fatal car crash through September 25, 2024. The website that initially published this claim has posted dozens of other dubious celebrity death hoaxes that, when clicked, redirected users to downloadable pop-up blocker products.
