Twitter is abuzz with rumors that actor Jim Carrey Died in a Snowboard Accident. Is Jim Carrey Dead? Uh, No.
The Jim Carrey death rumor claims that the actor died in a snowboarding accident in Zermatt, Switzerland on March 2, 2011.
Is Jim Carrey Really Dead?
There are no confirmed media reports that Jim Carrey is dead. The only story claiming that Jim Carrey died is a dubious internet post that looks suspiciously like spam.
The Jim Carrey death rumor is the latest in a string of internet death rumors. Last December, a Morgan Freeman death hoax spread online. The rumor gained so much strength that CNN was forced to issue a statement denying that they had anything to do with the story.

This is just a spinoff of the Adam Sandler death hoax, also involving a snowboard, the deadliest of death-hoax conveyances.

The website that the hoax appears on says, at the bottom, that the story is fake and the website is meant for jokes only. Get a life, people. Read.
