Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman has dismissed rumors of his death with a Facebook post, saying, “Yesss Sirr Alive and Well.” The 63-year-old NBA icon’s post came in response to false reports claiming he passed away from an autoerotic asphyxiation accident.

When did the rumor start?

The rumors surfaced early on April 1, 2025, when several parody accounts on X and Facebook claimed Rodman had been “found dead in his apartment.”

The hoax quickly gained traction, making Rodman one of the top trending search terms on Google, with people searching for “Dennis Rodman dead,” “Dennis Rodman cause of death,” and “Is Dennis Rodman alive?”

“I’m so sick of people playing on other peoples demise!!! Glad your alive & well,” one person commented.
