Morgan Freeman is not dead

Morgan Freeman ... the latest victim of death hoax

In the recent year where many well-known names are passing away, the celebrity death hoaxes are also continuing. This time, it is one of the most well-known actors of all time the Morgan Freeman. As of Saturday, September 8, 2012 though, his representative confirmed that Freeman is indeed alive and in good health.



Much like the death hoax of Bill Cosby in late August, a Facebook page was made for Freeman about his death. In mere hours, the page was gaining in popularity and actually has got more than 60,000 “likes.”



After the news circulated about Freeman’s death, a representative told E! Online:



“Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax.”



This goes to show the world that the creators of the page weren’t looking to actually start a hoax of Morgan Freeman being dead, but just to make fun of the internet. Needless to say, but they succeeded easily.



So far in the recent year, rumors of celebrity deaths have been circulated for Bill Cosby, Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa, Reese Witherspoon, and Usher. Of course, all the rumors have proven to be false.
