It seems someone is always fake dying on the internet. A couple of weeks ago it was Justin Bieber and now the phrase ‘RIP Patrick Dempsey’ is trending on Twitter.
To be clear, the actor is alive and well.
Patrick Dempsey is most known for playing a doctor on the ABC series ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. Some tweets are claiming the rumor started when the Grey’s Anatomy Twitter account was hacked, but only a fake Grey’s Anatomy Twitter account shows any evidence of such a thing. My theory? It’s a brilliant marketing ploy from ABC to promote the return of the show on April 5 after a two-week hiatus. And it’s working.
Let’s start off this Twitter roll with some words from the man himself:
