Reports of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's death have been debunked. A viral letter falsely claimed that Carter, whose full name is James Earl Carter, Jr., had passed away at the age of 99. The letter, which was widely circulated on social media, was confirmed to be a hoax by multiple sources, including ABC News and CNN. The New York Post and other media outlets initially reported the false news but have since retracted their statements. Carter's team has directly confirmed that he is alive, and the fabricated letter has been identified as a gross joke. The letter also made inappropriate references to his wife, Rosalynn.
