Claims circulating online that TikTok creator Chewy Thompson has died from rabies appear to be false, with recent social-media activity indicating that the popular content creator remains active.
Thompson, known for his distinctive appearance and resemblance to Elvis Presley, has built a substantial following through comedic videos and viral social-media content. Recent activity associated with his accounts provides a clear indication that the creator has continued posting during September 2026.
Third-party TikTok analytics currently list activity on the @chewythompson account, including videos uploaded within days of the latest data update. The account is listed with hundreds of videos and nearly one million followers. Instagram analytics likewise show continued account activity through September, including new posts and changes in the account’s total post count as recently as September 22, 2026.
The online rumor has also included claims that Thompson is Elvis Presley’s grandson. Public biographical information identifies Thompson as a digital content creator and does not establish such a family relationship.
A purported Daily Mail headline connected to a rabies-related death claim should therefore not be treated as evidence of Thompson’s death without verification from the publication or other reliable sources. The available recent activity is inconsistent with the claim that he died.
At this time, the rabies death story should be regarded as a false or fabricated death rumor rather than a confirmed report. Readers are encouraged to avoid sharing unverified screenshots or headlines and to check the creator’s verified social accounts and reputable news sources before accepting claims about a public figure’s death.
