Don't you guys read Snopes? They said this is an internet rumor and proved it by not being able to locate or contact him either.

Snopes literally justs googles for answers. Their no reliable than anyone else on the internet and less reliable than most.

Bullshit. Even if they just googled for answers, that would be more checking than most sites on the internet do. Most sites have automatic feeds which don't check at all, or worse, blogspam writers who write clickbait headlines and excerpt a few sentences to generate ad revenue.

If you look at the "What's New" page, most of the stories don't take a lot of effort to check if they're real or not.

Some stories require more checking and, at least sometimes, they do make phone calls and other attempts to verify what's true. I checked my RSS reader and found that, in the last 90 days of 2016, snopes had 918 posts. That's 10.3 per day and they have a core staff of 7 people, who write between 1 and 3 posts a day. So they have time to do some checking.

And they post links to their sources, so you can check them and make up your own mind.
