Caster Semenya is not dead

“Don’t trust what you see, even salt looks like sugar,” says Olympic gold medallist Caster Semenya, responding to a false report claiming that she died on Friday at a Palo Alto hospital in California.

The false report had claimed Semenya suddenly fell ill while she and her wife Violet were in the United States at the invitation of Apple Inc. to talk about “a possible endorsement deal”.

“She was fine but complained of minor chest pains a day before our coming. It wasn’t something we had to worry about,” Violet was falsely quoted as saying.

“The cause of her demise which happened in the wee hours of Friday morning has not yet been established as her partner confirms that the body has been sent for autopsy.”

The report further said the National Olympic Committee of South Africa would issue a statement on her death. However, we strongly advise you to not wait for such as Semenya is very much alive, unless dead people can tweet.
