The famous actor Jackie Chan is not dead, despite the numerous rumors circulating on social media websites.
Jackie Chan is the latest celebrity to become the victim of a death hoax. According to Hoax Slayer, at least a couple of hoax posts have been making the rounds online.“Hollywood Breaking News - Jackie Chan died after perfecting a
deadly stunt. Jackie Chan falls from a building of 12 floors. Police are
currently investigating. Watch the original video of the deadly stunt
and their effort to save Jackie Chan,” one of the hoaxes reads.
The other one claims, “Jackie Chan died while filming a movie in
Kitzbühel, Austria early this morning - June 20, 2013. Preliminary
reports from the Austrian Police officials shows that the actor fell
more than 50 feet to his death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm
mountains while on-set during the filming of a movie. Specific details
are not yet available.”
While such celebrity death hoaxes might appear harmless, in reality
they’re often used by scammers to lure unsuspecting internauts to survey
scams and other shady websites, which is why it’s important for users
to check out the legitimacy of such a story before distributing it.
In this case, a large number of people bought the fake story. Jackie
Chan himself even published a photo on Facebook to show everyone that
he’s not dead.
“Hi everybody! Yesterday, I got on a 3am flight from India to Beijing. I
didn’t get a chance to sleep and even had to clean my house when I got
home. Today, everybody called to congratulate me on my rumored
engagement. Afterward, everybody called me to see if I was alive,” the
actor wrote on Facebook.
“If I died, I would probably tell the world! I took a photo with today’s
date, just in case you don’t believe me! However, thank you all for
your concern. Kiss kiss and love you all!”
