/ world today news/ The official account on Twitter of Umberto Eco reported that the writer Gabriel García Márquez died. The news was confirmed by Marquez’s sister, it was also written in Eko’s message.
However, it later became clear that the profile was fake and the message was not true.
At the same time, the Latin American media denied the news of the death of the great Colombian writer and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The world-famous author of “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and “Love in the Time of Cholera” fought a long battle with cancer of the lymph nodes.
A representative of Random House, the publishers of Marquez’s books, also said he did not believe rumors that the writer was dead. According to him, neither Marquez’s agent nor editor informed him of his death.
This is not the first time Marquez has been the target of fraud. In 2000, shortly after undergoing treatment for lymphoma cancer, the writer was pronounced dead.
