Prabal Still Here
Despite what some would consider some reliable sources, Prabal Gurung did not die in a car crash as reported yesterday by a Google Alert. The false news report stated that Gurung “lost control while driving a friend’s vehicle on Interstate 80 and rolled the vehicle several times killing him instantly.” A stunned Gurung received countless phone calls from friends and family about the supposed car crash. Immediately, Gurung sent out series tweets on his Twitter stated that the news report was in accurate. “Hi everyone I am safe n sound. Pls don’t blv the spammed google alert ie going around proclaiming my death in a car crash.I found out about the alert when my fam n friends called me worried n crying just now. Its a horrible spam n I can’t even imagine why or who would even do it but please be fully assured I am perfectly fine.” (sic)
Gurung told the New York Post, earlier today that he was very upset about the unfounded Google Alert. “I wish the parties involved in this hoax had some empathy for those who are at the receiving end of this prank. I hope that Google looks into this and takes firm action.”
That said; everyone is glad that Gurung is safe and sound and can keeping designing those fabulous clothes for the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama and Zoe Saldana.
