Facebook users were left infuriated after WHO magazine posted a "tribute" to Home and Away star Ray Meagher on his birthday, implying that he died.

The social media post wrote “The whole cast and crew love you very much”: Tributes are flowing for Home And Away’s most iconic star, Ray Meagher", which was meant to celebrate Meagher's 77th birthday on Sunday but had users thinking he died.

Users were furious.

“Change the description of your post. I thought he had passed away. Misleading,” one wrote.

“Omg I thought he died. Wow. Just terrify a nation,” said another.

“Stone the flaming crows. Strewth I thought he had passed. You lot are a bunch of flaming galahs making people think that,” another joked, referencing some of Alf’s iconic lines.

Fans were right to be worried as Meagher has undergone heart surgery after a shock triple bypass.

“For me, it’s the same old message: people have got to get checked,” he said in support of a Heart Foundation fundraiser last year.

“Blokes feel like they’re hypochondriacs or wusses or something if they’ve got a bit of a twinge and tend to ignore it. Not all blokes, but a lot do and I think men are worse than women in ignoring those things. Like it’s a dreadful sign of weakness … I don’t know what the rationale is, but they don’t listen to the body and you’ve got to,” he said, firmly.

“If you’re getting a bit of a niggle, then go and see your GP and he’ll send you to the right people. You might be alive instead of dead, and I think that’s a better option,” he said.
