But the movie star, real name Daniel Lawrence Whitney, confirmed that he was alive and well in a tweet on Monday.
He also retweeted a brief clip from a vintage 1980s hip-hop dance tutorial.
“If I believed in purgatory, my punishment would be watching this video over and over again,” the original poster said in their tweet.
Larry’s only addition to the clip were two laughing emojis.
The retweet came on Monday evening, a few hours after the comedian addressed the death rumors head on.
“As much as some haters would love for me to have died, which I don’t know why other than being jealous of my 1980’s Dolf Lundgren (circa 1980’s) looking body, I’m still alive and currently putting icy hot on 65 percent of my body after trying to put on my socks,” he said.

Larry added that this rumor goes around every year.
“I’m fully mobile. The last time I laid motionless was on my honeymoon according to my wife,” the comedian joked.
“I’m not dead, I don’t have sleep Apnea or Diabetes. I do however have major farts from honey roasted pistachios. I love all y’all!”
The death rumors came as Larry was promoting a show in Laughlin, Nevada – about 100 miles south of Las Vegas – on December 2.
Larry was born in Nebraska in 1963, where he grew up on an 80acre farm.
When the future comedian was 16, he and his family moved to Florida.
Larry went on to attend the Baptist University of America and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he studied drama and speech.
His entertainment career started in the 1990s, when the comedian began appearing on radio programs.
But it really took after he created the Larry the Cable Guy character, who’s defined by his stereotypical redneck appearance and thick Southern accent.
