Sao Paulo, June 18 (RHC)-- The wife of American linguist, social critic, analyst and activist Noam Chomsky, Valeria Wasserman, denied rumors about his death on Tuesday.

Chomsky is currently hospitalized in a health center in Sao Paulo, Brazil, while recovering from a massive stroke he suffered in June 2023.  Sources close to the family shared screenshots of Wasserman's conversation on their social networks.

The associate researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), José M. Santana, circulated evidence of a dialogue with Wasserman through the instant messaging application WhatsApp, where he confirmed that Chomsky's health is improving.

Likewise, the editor of the Periodismo Puente platform, Amauri Gonzo, posted a fragment of a dialogue on the social network X, where Wasserman denies the news of the death of her husband.

Recently, in statements offered to a local media, Wasserman assured that Chomsky was following the news, reading scientific articles on linguistics, and raising his left arm, with a clenched fist, in an angry gesture when seeing news related to the genocidal war of aggression agianst Gaza.
