False celebrity death reports

There are many examples of premature obituaries, many celebrities were announced dead despite they were still alive. The Internet and the social networks emphasize the phenomenon because informations can circulate very quickly, without any verification of sources.
For example, one week ago, there was rumours that the famous singer and guitarist Carlos Santana was deceased. There were even fake Carlos Santana death pictures.The rumour began on Twitter when users said that Santana look like Muammar Gaddafi and pictures of Gaddafi were published with the mention "RIP Carlos Santana". Many fans thought that Santana was really dead and started to panic a bit.
One more time, it shows that  the Internet and its users create false death rumours, but false celebrity death reports existed before the development of the Internet.

But, with this kind of performance, Santana will always live in my heart!
