Amidst the Michael Jackson craziness yesterday, there were reports that Jeff Goldblum had also died. Nope. It was an old hoax from 1999 that resurfaced. From New Zealand's Stuff.co.nz:
New Zealand police have been taking calls, as have local media outlets, after the online hoax went viral again today, but his publicist has this afternoon confirmed the rumours are false.After a hoax that's stretched over ten years, wouldn't it be funny if Jeff eventually did die from falling off a cliff in New Zealand? Actually no, that wouldn't be funny at all. His family would be devastated. What are you, a fucking monster?
"Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue. He is fine and in Los Angeles," said Goldblum's publicist Evelyn Karamanos.
The hoax - which first appeared in 1999 - involves international reports saying the actor has died, usually in a fall, while filming in New Zealand. The reports normally claim to have New Zealand Police confirmation.
