## Key points

- Lenny Kravitz is alive; his team says the viral death claim is false.
- The rumour used a purported screenshot falsely linking him to the flight.
- All nine aboard died, and federal investigators are examining the crash.

## Summary

Kravitz’s representatives have again denied that he died in the Florida Learjet crash, as a rumour linking him to the flight continues to circulate. The claim stemmed from a purported screenshot of a post falsely suggesting he was due to fly from Austin to the Bahamas.

The Sunday crash killed all nine people aboard the aircraft. Pilot Emily Shelton also said she was not involved and urged people to stop spreading misinformation and respect those affected; the reported co-pilot, 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, had earned her pilot’s licence while still at school. The FAA is supporting the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation.
