Rumour: Jackie Chan is dead
Did the action star really fall to his death in Austria?
FALSE: The death hoax strikes again
Jackie Chan, the 59-year-old action star famous for doing his own stunts, reportedly died while filming a movie in Austria. But it's all a hoax, reports the International Business Times and Snopes.
Snopes says the report of Chan's death originated at mediafetcher.com, which it describes as a sort of user-generated MadLibs for celebrity death and dismemberment. IB Times says that Chan also wrote a Facebook message to his fans just to reassure them.
“If I died, I would probably tell the world!” the actor wrote. “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!”
