In recent days, a series of sensationalized and misleading articles have circulated on social media platforms, particularly via Facebook, claiming the tragic passing of veteran actor Jeremy Sisto. The link in question, titled “Announcing the Passing of Jeremy Sisto,” has sparked widespread concern among fans of the crime drama genre. However, it is important to clarify immediately: Jeremy Sisto is alive and well.

This report is the latest in a string of celebrity death hoaxes originating from fringe “news” websites designed to generate clicks through emotional manipulation and “breaking news” bait.

The Source of the Rumor

The link provided—hosted on a domain known for circulating celebrity gossip and unverified claims—suggests that the FBI and Law & Order star has passed away. These sites often use “RIP” headlines to drive traffic to pages filled with aggressive advertisements or malware. In this case, the “news” is entirely fabricated. There have been no statements from Sisto’s representatives, his family, or major reputable news outlets like The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, or Deadline to corroborate these claims.

A Career in Full Swing

Jeremy Sisto, a staple of American television and film for over three decades, remains highly active in the industry. He currently stars as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine on the hit CBS series FBI. The show, produced by Dick Wolf, is currently in the midst of a successful season, and Sisto remains a central figure in the cast.

Beyond his current role, Sisto is celebrated for his diverse filmography, including his breakout role as Elton in the cult classic Clueless, his haunting portrayal of Billy Chenowith in HBO’s Six Feet Under, and his tenure as Detective Cyrus Lupo on the original Law & Order. His continued presence on network television and social media serves as a direct contradiction to the false reports of his demise.

The Dangers of Death Hoaxes

This incident highlights a growing trend of “digital obituary” scams. These hoaxes often target actors from popular procedural dramas—such as Home and Away or the FBI franchise—because they have dedicated, long-term fanbases. The goal of these fake news sites is to exploit the “shock factor” to encourage users to share the link before verifying the facts.

When these articles go viral, they cause unnecessary distress to fans and, more importantly, to the families and colleagues of the individuals involved. Fans are encouraged to verify such “breaking” news by checking established media organizations or the actor’s official social media profiles before sharing.

Conclusion

Jeremy Sisto continues to be a “talented star of the crime film genre,” as the headline ironically suggests, but he is very much alive. He is currently focused on his work in the FBI franchise and other upcoming projects. Any report suggesting otherwise is a total fabrication intended to mislead the public for advertising revenue.

If you encounter this link on social media, the most effective response is to report the post for “False Information” to help stop the spread of the hoax.
