Noam Chomsky's wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, says reports that the famed linguist and activist had died are untrue. Noam Chomsky, 95, had been hospitalised in Brazil while recovering from a stroke suffered a year ago, Valeria Chomsky told the AP last week. ADVERTISEMENTEarlier Tuesday, Chomsky was trending on X as false reports of his death abounded. Jacobin and The New Statesman published obituaries for Chomsky, though the former changed its headline from "We Remember Noam Chomsky" to "Let's Celebrate Noam Chomsky". Noam Chomsky, known to millions for his criticisms of US foreign policy, taught for decades at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
