Cesar Millan is the recent victim of a death hoax that has circulated online. Rumours of his death from a heart attack surfaced after the famous dog trainer was allegedly hospitalised.

According to Inquisitr, reports of Cesar Millan's death followed after he was supposedly hospitalised on Tuesday, Dec 2. UNAM Noticias ran the original story of the dog trainer succumbing to death in the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 3, in Santa Clarita hospital in California. An excerpt from his obituary, that has gone viral, claims "he suffered a fulminate heart attack." The heart attack allegedly caused complications to his brain due to insufficient blood flow and ultimately caused other vital organs to collapse.

The death hoax continues with a press conference allegedly held by his wife, Jahira Dar, to confirm the 45-year old's demise. Dar supposedly asked for some privacy following Caesar Millan's passing. "I hope you can understand my loss, and I would appreciate if you can give us our space for our mourning," Dar have supposedly said.

The Cesar Millan death hoax reportedly continues with a message that honours the trainer's memory through his contribution to society with his dog training profession. Quoted by Inquisitr, UNAM Noticias made a tribute to the 45-year-old Mexican/American and claims he will be remembered through his "incredible rehabilitation and training technics with dogs," a duty which he has been known through his show "The Dog Whisperer" and through the three books he wrote; "Cesar's way" "Be the pack leader" and "Member of the family." Even alleged funeral details were revealed including Cesar's corpse expected to be shipped back to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, where he will be buried next to his grandfather.

Reports of Cesar Millan's death from a heart attack have already been considered as a hoax even though the trainer's rep has yet to comment. According to Kpopstarz, a reputable site has also yet to ran an official statement on his demise. However, as per Inquisitr, Millan's Facebook Page has recently been updated with a status declaring the death reports as "greatly exaggerated." The dog trainer is believed to be "safe, happy and healthy."
