Pawn Stars star Chumlee has taken to Twitter to prove that he is, in fact, not dead.
Chumlee, born Austin Russell, fell victim to a death hoax earlier this week when rumors began to circulate that he had died from a heart attack.
"May we live long, Rich forever," the reality star tweeted amid a sea of condolences on social media.
