网传李嘉诚逝世 长实集团严正声明「绝无其事」并谴责造谣 大公报亦澄清从未发布相关报道

香港——10月15日,一则声称香港《大公报》报道长实集团资深顾问李嘉诚去世的消息在社交平台流传。长实集团同日发表严正声明,指有关说法「绝无其事」,并对捏造假新闻的自媒体予以强烈谴责。《大公报》其后亦发布声明,澄清从未发布相关内容。
据证券时报、第一财经等媒体报道,长实集团在声明中表示,该传闻源于有媒体转载内地自媒体的不实消息,讹称《大公报》作了相关报道。多方核查显示,长和集团、长实集团、李嘉诚基金会及家属均未发布任何讣告,权威渠道亦无相关报道。
李嘉诚现年98岁,2018年退休后担任长江集团资深顾问。今年2月,网络上也曾出现其病危入院的不实传闻,事后被证实为虚假信息。
集团方面表示,重大消息应以长和集团或李嘉诚基金会的正式公告为准。报道并提及,谣言流传当天,A股一只与「嘉诚」同名的上市公司股价盘中涨停,显示名人讹传消息已对市场情绪造成扰动。

CK Asset Denounces Fabricated Reports of Li Ka-shing's Death as 'Utterly Groundless'
HONG KONG — CK Asset Holdings issued a stern statement on Oct. 15 rejecting viral social-media claims that its senior advisor Li Ka-shing had died, calling the reports 'utterly groundless' and strongly condemning the self-media accounts that fabricated them. Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao, which the posts falsely cited as their source, also clarified that it had never published any such report.
According to Securities Times and Yicai, the rumour originated with mainland self-media posts that wrongly attributed the claim to Ta Kung Pao. Checks found no obituary or announcement from CK Hutchison, CK Asset, the Li Ka Shing Foundation or the family, and no coverage by authoritative outlets.
Li, 98, retired in 2018 and serves as senior advisor to the CK group. A similar fabricated report claiming he was critically ill circulated in February this year and was likewise debunked.
The group said major news should be based on official announcements from CK Hutchison or the Li Ka Shing Foundation. Reports also noted that on the day the rumour spread, shares of an unrelated A-share company whose name contains the characters 'Jiacheng' surged to their daily limit, underscoring how fabricated celebrity news can jolt markets.
