Yeah, the article I linked has just changed its headline to explain that they are just rumours. Perhaps these posts should be moved to his own thread. Edit: Upon further reading, the rumours seem to be almost certainly untrue. Apparently there's some Moroccan site which reports his death every time he falls ill, thus causing, as the article I'm currently reading puts it, "social networks to swell like a big hematoma".

gcreptile 10,200 Posted March 4, 2017 I almost picked him for the Cup. I think he'll die this year, rather sooner than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CastAway 474 Posted March 4, 2017 If he was dead, we'd probably know by now - the BBC at least would have reported on it by now, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 10,022 Posted March 4, 2017 It's definitely a hoax. He should be back on 2018 list, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
