Claims about Hailey Welch, known as the Hawk Tuah Girl, being dead have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) after she went silent on social media following allegations of a $HAWK cryptocurrency scam. 🪙💔$LUNC

On December 9, user @scrimXBT tweeted🤦🏻, “Breaking News: Hailey Welch has been found deceased at the age of 22 years old.” This tweet sparked a wave of similar claims, but it's important to clarify that these rumors are completely false. 🚫
The speculation arose after Welch faced accusations of scamming investors with her failed $HAWK memecoin, which lost over 90% of its value shortly after launch. Many believe she was involved in a “rug pull” and “pump-and-dump” scheme, common fraudulent practices in the crypto world.
Despite the rumors, popular gossip page Drama Alert quickly debunked the claims, stating, “There is no evidence she has died.” 📰 Given her public profile, credible news outlets would have reported on her passing if it were true, and since that hasn’t happened, it’s safe to say she is alive.
This isn’t the first time a public figure has been the target of a death hoax. Celebrities like Will Smith and Justin Bieber have also faced similar false rumors. It’s crucial to verify such information through reliable sources, as misinformation can spread quickly for attention.
Welch’s last social media activity was on December 5, where she claimed her team hadn’t sold any tokens. However, this was contradicted by X’s Community Notes, which suggested she may have been misleading her followers.
As the situation unfolds, many are waiting for Welch to address the scam allegations directly. 🕵️‍♂️
