Macaulay Culkin Mocks Death Hoax With Twitter Photo

The report states that the 34-year-old actor "was found dead Friday afternoon in his Manhattan apartment after police responded to a wellness check requested by a family member."

Apparently, it is all a hoax. The actor/musician himself put the rumors to rest by posting a photo on Twitter along with the caption, "We're on tour you silly people." He then followed it up with a picture showing him and his friend recreating a scene from "Weekend At Bernie's," a 1989 comedy flick in which two men pretend that their murdered boss is still alive.

It is the second time that Culkin fell victim to a death hoax this year.

Macaulay Culkin is best known for his role as Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone" movie series. He is a member of a New York-based, pizza-themed comedy rock band called The Pizza Underground.
