Morgan Freeman is not dead. Somehow the famed actor is continuously killed off by the internet and this time, just like the rest, it isn't true. On September 7, E! Online confirmed that the "Through the Wormhole" host did not die, his rep saying the following.
"Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax." Freeman may soon join Eddie Murphy and Jackie Chan with the most death hoaxes in a short time period... but the most important thing is that he did not die. He wasn't in an accident nor did he come down with the plague. The voice lives!
Morgan Freeman dead rumors have been around for-ev-er. Along with the most recent death hoax victims, there was an R.I.P. page set up for Freeman on Facebook. Thousands of people flocked to the page, leaving their condolences, and word spread faster than hot butter. If anyone took a moment to read (even the Facebook page itself claims that the actor is still alive!), these rumors probably wouldn't take off so quickly.
Nine times out of ten, someone starts these rumors on Twitter. Now that people are beginning to get Facebook involved, there are just more bogus reports and people falling in to the trap.
When Morgan Freeman is dead, it is going to be very sad—but people may not believe it because of all of the hoaxes in the past.
