Is Adam Sandler dead? Only if you believe everything you read on Twitter. But don’t worry, it seems you wouldn’t be alone, because the Adam Sandler dead hoax apparently fooled a lot of people late Sunday night. The prank is said to be the work of Global Associated News, who gave few details other than claiming that Adam Sandler was dead. While Adam Sandler may be dead according to Twitter, he is alive and well, enjoying his Just Go With It earnings here in the real world.
