Another unfunny celebrity death hoax has claimed a victim.
Twitter lit up this afternoon with a fake CNN story claiming that Zach Braff had committed suicide. He hasn’t.
We don’t know where the rumor started, but it doesn’t really matter. The result is always the same – the rumor spreads, freaking out friends and family, much to the delight of … well, we’re not sure who.
He has not. And, if you don’t believe us, his rep tells Gossip Cop the actor is about to post an update on his website.
UPDATE: Here is Braff’s update that he posted to his Facebook fan page:
“Hi. I’m very much alive. Total internet rumor. Amazing how fast one douche can spread a lie. Be careful out there on the internets friends. Please spread the word… Video of me holding todays paper to follow… Love, zb”
