And Eddie Murphy's latest death last Tuesday was said to have been
the result of a snowboarding accident. As Gossip Cop notes, the actor
has been "killed" about a dozen times in recent years. But he, too, is
alive and well.
A nasty rumor began making its rounds on Facebook and Twitter that
the comedian had died. It quickly became a trend, but that was largely
due to the fact that interested fans started searching for that online
to find out whether it was true or not.
