To combat an ugly rumor out there, Jim Ross is not dead. Ross’ Twitter account posted last night with the following statement:
We are shocked and saddened to bring you the news that Jim Ross has sadly passed away. Long time friend @WhiteLeedsSite was with him at the time of his passing and it was said to be very peaceful. We will be making a further statement shortly.
However, that was not true; someone hacked JR’s Twitter account and made the false “statement” along with several pro-Leeds United tweets before the account was suspended, which is still is as of this point.
