Macaulay Culkin has been the victim of a death hoax yet again, it has been revealed.

Just seven months after a similar rumor found its way on the Internet, some outlets reported that the body of the 'Home Alone' star was discovered in his New York City Apartment, the Independent reported.

The recent rumor seems to have originated online with a mock tribute page making the rounds on Facebook for people to show their respect.

However, a picture uploaded by the 34-year-old's band, Pizza Underground, showed him to still be living.
