Sylvester Stallone Death Hoax: Reports Actor Dead Are Fake, 'Rocky' Very Much Alive

Yet another celebrity has fallen into the death hoax trap, and this time, it's the 68-year old legendary 'Rambo V' actor, Sylvester Stallone.

Recent news of the star's fake death has gone viral on the Internet, particularly on social media platforms. One story has alleged that the actor had tragically died in a car crash recently, which spread like wildfire in the online community, prompting panic among die-hard 'Rocky' fans from all over the globe.

Another story that seems to have been circling about the media the past few days was that the actor died in a skiing accident somewhere, which had also made Stallone fans worried-sick. However, all the malicious rumors surrounding the 'Rambo' star's death have been nothing but hoax.

According to reports, the mischievous rumors claiming the alleged death of the Hollywood icon has been traced to a website called Global Associated News. The website allegedly uses a template to spread spiteful death rumors about celebrities, and the website users can use these templates by simply filling a form that requires the name of the celebrity to be victimized, before it is published. A phrase that indicates that the news is fake is allegedly written at the bottom of every falsified article.

To prove the rumors false, Vulture recently interviewed Stallone this week, where the actor divulged that he has already started training for his big screen comeback, 'Rambo V'. According to the actor, he has been trying to get into a shape that fits Rambo perfectly well. The forthcoming 'Rambo V' movie is expected to be released sometime next year.
