Gregg Jevin’s ‘death’ ripples through Twitter: Who the hell is he?

Gregg Jevin is dead! The sad news of Gregg Jevin’s death has spread across Twitter like wildfire and the hashtag #RIPGreggJevin and Gregg Jevin have been trending. The news of Jevin’s death was first reported by popular comedian Michael Legge.

Wait a minute, who is Gregg Jevin?

A man born out of the imagination of Legge. He is as Winston Churchill said, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma — the engima being Legge’s mind. His tweet of Jevin’s death was taken by the Twitter populace without question.

His tweet was followed by a slew of responses:

Jevin’s Twitter account has been unusually active for a dead person, though as his bio suggests “reports of my death are greatly exaggerated, I only died a little bit”. He also tweeted a confirmation of his death just in case anyone was in doubt:

Tributes for Jevin are well underway. Everyone wants to honour him.

Balcony T-shirts also created a shirt in honour of a man who doesn’t really exist, nobody knows, but everyone remembers fondly.
