Rumors about the death of Jorge Messi, father of football superstar Lionel Messi, spread rapidly on social media and were amplified by some Argentine media figures. This caused confusion and concern among fans and family members.

In response, the Messi family released an official statement on June 18 to address the situation. They confirmed that Jorge Messi is experiencing health issues and is currently under medical supervision, with a positive and favorable recovery.

The family expressed their profound distress over the insensitive and disrespectful spread of false information, emphasizing that any updates would come directly from the family through their official channels.
