Chuck Norris Dead at 86.
— 𝓦𝓦𝓖1𝓦𝓖𝓐 —
When Chuck Norris heard that nothing could kill him, he tracked down Nothing and killed it first.
Death once tried to collect his soul... Chuck roundhouse-kicked the Grim Reaper so hard that Death filed for disability, took early retirement, and now spends eternity hiding under the covers whispering, "Please don't tell Chuck I'm still here."
This appears to be from 2015. I found things about that then. Did you have a more recent source?
Granted Israel benefits from making him and thus his statements news, but its not apparently like he said it and then they quickly killed him to capitalize on it.
