Eddie Murphy Death Hoax
02/06/2012
.
(TMZ) The Internet is blowing up with reports that Eddie Murphy is dead. NOT TRUE. We made some calls, and Eddie is very much alive.

The frenzy was triggered by MediaFetcher.com. The site has been spinning bogus stories about other celebs they claim are dead but are not -- including:

Jon Bon Jovi, Charlie Sheen, Adam Sandler, TooShort, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Mac Miller, Tiger Woods, George Clooney, and others.

Pavlov's dog could have figured this out quicker. more on this story
