The X2 Twins, Jesse and Jordan Eckley, have both been reported dead.
A TikTok account shared the news with little backing info, alleging the duo passed away from heart failure due to sweating too much.
“The twin gamers, known as the X 2 twins, both recently passed away. 23 year old Jesse Eckley and Jordan Eckley both died. due to heart failure for sweating too hard in Fortnite. The twin gamers will be missed.” the post read.
Despite going viral on social media and sparking a panic for the welfare of the twins, there has been no corroborating evidence indicating the twins have passed away.
The lack of details in the post coupled with the ludicrous cause of death, makes it likely to be a death hoax.
And even commenters on the post themselves are not too convinced.
The top comment on the death hoax reads: “Do the X2 twins know about this?”
Another comment read: “The X2 twins literally streamed 7 days ago,”
Others are worried that the twins are truly dead but that is not a likely assessment at this time unless more corroborating evidence emerges.
The X2 Twins are a pair of super talented professional Fortnite players and online gamers from Australia.
During their heyday, the brothers were nigh unbeatable and earned significant revenue from their gaming activities streaming on YouTube, Twitch and more.
For the past several months, the X2 Twins have been on a bit of a self-imposed break which might have contributed to news emerging of their deaths.
