Jun 18, 2024, 07:54 PM
Noam Chomsky, the renowned linguist and intellectual, was mistakenly reported dead on June 18, 2024, at age 95, leading to widespread confusion. Multiple sources, including prominent figures and media outlets, prematurely published eulogies and obituaries. Chomsky's wife, Valeria, confirmed that he is alive and recovering from a stroke he suffered in June 2023 in a São Paulo hospital. The erroneous reports were retracted after confirmation of his well-being.
