Fact check: Jimmy Carter has not died, Carter Center confirms

Category: News

A letter claiming former President Jimmy Carter has died is a hoax, according to the Carter Center. The false announcement has circulated widely on social media, despite Carter being in hospice care and approaching his 100th birthday on October 1, 2024. His wife, Rosalynn Carter, passed away last year, and his grandson noted that Carter's condition has remained stable since entering hospice care over a year ago.
