Macaulay Culkin is again the subject of death hoaxes, with the latest alleging that he was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Friday just seven months after the last rumour.
The story that was released onto the social media platforms on Friday, soon went viral, so much so that Macaulay Culkin's agents had to even release a statement on behalf of the actor denying the hoax, reported Nottingham Post. Continue after the cut...
It said: "He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. "He's still alive and well"
The claims about the actor and musician, who rose to fame after starring in the 1990 classic family comedy Home Alone and is now in a band called Pizza Underground, spread quickly on social media from Thursday.
The misleading report on MSNBC.website (not to be confused with the real MSNBC) said: "Sources are reporting that Macaulay Culkin, best known for his role as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone and sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, has been found dead at the age of 34."
