Following the discovery, the actress was rushed to the hospital for emergency care. Gala reports that Farès has been placed in an induced coma as part of her medical treatment.

Clarification on Death Reports

The news of the accident coincided with the spread of misinformation regarding the actress’s status. On April 12, 2026, a Facebook page titled R.I.P. Nadia Farès began circulating a report claiming that the actress had passed away at approximately 11 a.m. ET that day.

The Facebook page, which attracted nearly one million likes, provided a detailed but false account of her passing. However, as of April 14, 2026, these reports have been confirmed as a complete hoax. While the actress remains in serious condition following the pool accident, the claims of her death were unfounded.
