The Bill Cosby is dead hoax

"I'm not dead, dammit!"

The hoax rumors that Bill Cosby was dead prompted him to call in to the Larry King Show.

Cosby has been reported dead four times. This time the prank caused some friends to tearfully believe the hoax was true.

"I don't know. Maybe a psychiatrist will say I'm feeding (the rumor starter's) ego, but I just want to say to friends of that person: Just tell him to stop, because it isn't funny."
