We usually see news every day but don’t know that whether the news is true or false. It is uncommon to read the false news, stories and deaths of people in the world. In a weird turn of events, Facebook itself has started declaring people dead when in fact they are not.

What if someday you open your Facebook account and find a eulogy there, declaring that you are dead? You would definitely feel puzzled and doubt your existence. You might find it hard to believe, but Facebook actually declared about 2 million people dead on the 11th of November, including its founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg Dead?

A lot of Facebook users were greeted with a eulogy message when visiting the profiles of friends and family, while some found their own accounts memorialized. A message appeared on top of the profile of people with whom this ‘hilariously unfortunate’ incident happened.

While some people were obviously shocked, other users saw it as a missed opportunity to scare a few friends out, with one user, Danny Sullivan tweeting “Damn. I should have used Facebook Live to show how I was Facebook Dead.”

After investigating the reason behind it, it turned out to be actually a bug that caused this message to appear on people’s profiles which Facebook later corrected and apologized for. The social media giant acknowledged the error after fixing it, saying that there was a ‘terrible error’.

Facebook Message:

Here’s the message that was displayed on their Facebook profile,  “Remembering Anne. We hope people who love Anne will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate her life.”

A Facebook spokesperson told, “For a brief period, a message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts. This was a terrible error that we have now fixed.”

Twitter Reactions:

I am one of the #FacebookDead. I will miss all of you.

The problem seems to have been resolved by now, and Mark Zuckerberg is not dead on Facebook anymore.
