As of April 28, 2025, there have been no credible reports confirming the death of Todd Golden, head coach of the Florida Gators men’s basketball team. Recent news indicates that Golden is alive and actively involved in the basketball community.
In fact, just two weeks ago, Golden led the Gators to a thrilling 65–63 victory over Houston in the NCAA national championship game, marking Florida’s first title since 2007. At 39, Golden became the youngest head coach to win a national title since 1983 .
Earlier this season, Golden faced allegations of sexual harassment and stalking, leading to a Title IX investigation by the University of Florida. In January 2025, the university announced that the investigation found “no evidence” that Golden violated Title IX, and the case was closed .
Golden has continued to coach the team and has expressed his intent to consider legal action regarding the allegations.
Therefore, any reports claiming Todd Golden’s death are unsubstantiated and should be regarded as false.
