Following the devastating loss of Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva on July 3, 2025, false reports have now surfaced claiming that a Chelsea “icon” was found lifeless in his apartment. However, no credible news outlets — including BBC, Sky Sports, or The Guardian — have confirmed such an incident.
The viral posts circulating online lack key details such as a name, location, or any official statement from Chelsea FC. No announcements have been made by the club or its representatives, and respected football reporters have not backed these claims.
In contrast, the death of Jota has been well-documented, with Spanish authorities now investigating possible sabotage after the discovery of a suspicious substance in the wreckage. The emotional toll has shaken the football world, prompting widespread tributes and official moments of silence across competitions.
Chelsea, currently focused on their FIFA Club World Cup campaign, have publicly mourned Jota’s death — but there is no verified information about a similar tragedy involving a Chelsea figure.
For now, fans are urged to remain cautious of unverified social media posts and await confirmation from official channels before sharing or believing such claims.
