This post is fake / misleading.

There is no credible news that Simon Cowell has died or that anything happened to him “44 minutes ago in Chicago.”

👉 What’s actually going on:

• The claim you saw is spreading mainly on Facebook posts, which are often used for clickbait (to make you click “first comment👇”).
• Reliable sources and past fact-checks confirm these kinds of “Simon Cowell death” stories are hoaxes that circulate repeatedly online.
• There is no breaking news from trusted media (BBC, CNN, CBS, etc.) reporting his death.

✔️ Reality:

• Simon Cowell is alive and continues working on shows like America's Got Talent.

⚠️ Important tip:
Posts that say things like:

• “very sad news…”
• “just happened…”
• “check first comment👇”

are classic scam/clickbait patterns.
