Karissa Shannon, a Playboy playmate, claims Hugh Hefner died yesterday and Playboy won’t release a statement, due to him wanting to keep his illness a secret [PHOTOS]

Yesterday, Karissa Shannon took to Instagram with this above photo to reveal Hugh Hefner died. Given his age, it wouldn’t be a shock that he died, but Playboy never addressed the rumor. Due to this, many began calling her out for pulling such a cruel hoax.

Karissa Shannon, however, continues to maintain that Hugh Hefner died. She is saying he was going through illness that he did not want the public to be aware of. Still, nothing supporting her claims have been released via Playboy and she says there is a reason for that.

According to Karissa Shannon, Playboy was under strict orders from Hefner to keep all details private. But, seeing how she was living with him at the Playboy mansion, she should know. Nothing in this article is confirming or denying anything, just giving the readers something to look at for them to make their own minds up.
