Chuck Norris (hospitalized 19 March 2026), died 20 March 2026

So reports TMZ.

Hardly anything known at this point, just that he’s been training in Hawaii and he’s in good spirits.

He just turned 86, so if he’s generally mobile under his own steam, he’s doing better than average (in my limited experience).

He actually died 20 years ago, but Death hasn’t worked up the courage to tell him yet.

If the memes are to be believed, Chuck Norris probably went to the hospital to perform all the surgeries.

I hope he recovers quick.

I heard he fell ill in California and “Fred Flintstoned” the ambulance all the way across the ocean to Hawaii so he could give the sun a Norristan.

I hear he billed the hospital thousands of dollars for services he didn’t provide.

No doubt he will give this guy a run for his money…

If only he’s breathing he’s doing better than the average person his age (who is dead for a couple of years already ) .

I think it’s rare to find someone 86 exercising regularly. Seniors water aerobics is more common for people in their 60’s and 70’s.

Norris is training at 86.

I hope he was monitoring his BP closely.

He released Agent Recon 2024.
This photo looks off. The other actor looks like you’d expect. Norris looks heavily photoshopped in photo 4.

That seems to be the same look as in the movie posters (9 through 11). The actual photos are more realistic.

He died:

Well that was a visceral shock.

Are we sure? Maybe someone in the afterlife just needed their ass kicked.

I shouldn’t make light of it, I suppose. My best wishes go to his family, friends, and fans.

They seem to have edited the headline, it originally answered your exact joke/question, but here’s a screenshot I found.

Rest in Peace, Chuck Norris! You were among the baddest of the bad asses.

ETA — yeah I think he is mostly dead.

When Death came for Chuck Norris, Chuck said “You’re coming with ME!” Death agreed, and off they went.

I always heard he was a big fan of the memes, and in fact his last Facebook post was “I don’t age, I level up.”

I’m sure he would get a kick (no pun intended) out of a lot of these comments.

Death finally got his revenge for the time Chuck Norris gave him a near-Chuck Norris experience.

Title updated.

There was one in the NPR obituary:
Chuck Norris, martial arts star, dies at 86 : NPR.

“Did you know that I got bit by a king cobra?” he asks in one video, adding with a chuckle, “and after five days of agonizing pain, the cobra died.”
