Alfonso Ribeiro aka Carlton is not dead – what’s with all the hoaxes?

Don’t worry about, “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” fans — Alfonso Ribeiro is not died. The actor, famous as Will Smith’s dorky cousin on the ’90s sitcom, is alive and in good health. He is the latest victim of an Internet death hoax.



Much like Morgan Freeman before him, a Facebook page spread the news about the actor’s death went viral. Actually — he’s not dead. Ribeiro, who was out on the town on Thursday after the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, tweeted fans to make known them that he’s still alive.



“I guess FB has a page saying I died. I wonder what people are gonna say at my funeral???” ponders the actor, later telling pal Joey fatone that he would make sure to inform him if he actually dies. “I’m gonna make sure I let you know first. Lol.”



We’ll say again the question we posed after Morgan Freeman’s hoax: What kind of satisfaction do you think people get from kicking off one of these rumors?!
