June 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Pawn Stars' Chumlee is doing just fine, despite an earlier report that the History Channel reality star had actually passed away. Chumlee (real name: Austin Russell) debunked rumors of a death hoax via Twitter on Wednesday, March 12.

"May we live long, Rich forever," the 31-year-old wrote. His costar, Rick Harrison, also set the record straight.

".@chumlee_ is ALIVE & WELL! He is 101 lbs down & in the best health of his life! Thanks for your concern! He is filming today at GS Pawn," Harrison, 48, wrote. "Breaking news: CHUMLEE IS ALIVE & WELL! He is actually filming today but we all really appreciate everyone's concern!"

Thank You!

Chumlee's death hoax quickly spread via social media earlier this week when tabloid site ebuzzd reported he had died from a heart attack due to his recent weight loss. Last month, the site also published a death hoax about actress Betty White, 92.

Chumlee has appeared in Pawn Stars since its debut in 2009. The series is currently in its eleventh season.
