No. Jared Fogle is very much alive. In fact, the ex-Subway spokesman is about to spend 15 years and eight months behind bars for trading in child porn0graphy and crossing state lines to pay for sex with minors, according to Associated Press.
Jared Fogle has been the subject of Internet death hoaxes for years. Rumors of his passing go as far back as 2008, with other hoaxes appearing in 2011. Other false stories about Fogle’s death surfaced in 2014.
Fogle worked for Subway for 16 years. The story of how he lost 245 pounds by eating Subway sandwiches is well-known. It became a key part of its marketing campaigns. Subway silently became a fast food giant, with more branches than any other retailer.
The long partnership between Subway and Fogle became difficult when police raided his suburban Indianapolis home. Authorities wouldn't tell what the search is about, but it comes two months after the executive director of Fogle's foundation was arrested on federal child porn0graphy charges.
