The article by Global Associated News claims that Adam Sandler died while vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland. The article even claims that witnesses observed Sandler losing control of his snowboard while at a high rate of speed. He allegedly hit a tree, which killing him instantly.
