Overview

• A Facebook page called "GZSZ-Nachrichten" falsely claimed the actor died in a private plane crash, using a plane-wreck collage, a mourning cross over his photo, and a fabricated line about police confirmation.
• Schlönvoigt dispelled the rumor on Instagram, telling followers he was fine.
• He said he was shocked, immediately informed his family, and has engaged a lawyer to pursue the matter.
• The claim spread rapidly after being posted on 11 September, prompting some users to flag it as a hoax and others to question why such posts remain online.
• Similar fabrications recently targeted his GZSZ colleague Nina Ensmann, reflecting a broader pattern of clickbait death rumors on fan pages.
