Twitter was all abuzz Monday afternoon with the fake CNN story that Zach Braff had committed suicide. Why? I mean who starts these stupid rumors and why? Bored, mean teenagers who hate Scrubs?

He is most certainly not dead. Here is Braff’s update that he posted to his Facebook fan page:

“Hi. I’m very much alive. Total internet rumor. Amazing how fast one douche can spread a lie. Be careful out there on the internets friends. Please spread the word… Video of me holding todays paper to follow… Love, zb”

Although, I mean, really…he’ll probably never do anything better than Garden State so if he does die young..at least we have that.
