On Thanksgiving day 2025, social media was briefly thrown into panic when a Facebook post claimed that former NFL star Steve Tasker had died at age 62 — this despite his publicly known birth year of 1962. BollywoodShaadis+2Wikipedia+2

The fake post quickly gained traction, triggering concern and confusion among fans and followers. But the confusion was short-lived. Tasker himself responded — posting on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m fine.” BollywoodShaadis+1

In his brief but clear message, he shut down the hoax at once, showing he’s alive and well. The bogus Facebook post, which had claimed his family announced his death, contained glaring errors — including listing his birth year as 1986 instead of 1962. BollywoodShaadis+1

Netizens flooded social media with relief, anger, and disbelief. Some admitted they were genuinely scared when they saw the news; others mocked the misinformation, asking rhetorically how his account could post from “the grave.” BollywoodShaadis

Fans also praised Tasker’s quick response, grateful for the clarification and hoping that such irresponsible rumours won’t circulate again — especially at a time when emotions run high.

As it stands: yes — Steve Tasker is very much alive. The “death at 62” claim was nothing more than a hoax that spread too fast, but fortunately was shut down just as quickly.
