On Monday, the 84-year-old senator tweeted a screenshot of his Google search results, which falsely indicated that he'd died on September 11, 2017.

"Hi.. @Google? We might need to talk," Hatch captioned the photo.

Per HuffPost, the mistake reportedly originated from Hatch's Wikipedia entry, which included a false date of death. But Hatch's staff wants everyone to know that the senator is very much alive. After Hatch's Twitter account called out Google for its error, the account posted photos and videos of the senator reading Monday's newspaper and signing bills last week.

Hatch's team even shared photos from of his 84th birthday celebration in March. It was apparently a bacon-themed party...?

According to HuffPost, Hatch's Wikipedia page was updated less than an hour after the senator's tweet, and on Tuesday morning, a Google search of Hatch indicates that the error's been fixed.
