Two years after Scrubs star Zach Braff was declared dead in a fake CNN article that few people ever saw, someone happened upon it and unleashed the story on Twitter. "Zach Braff is dead" hysteria reached critical mass on October 12, 2009, prompting the actor to post a rebuttal video on YouTube. Here's an excerpt:

"I'm alive. I'm here at Scrubs shooting the new Scrubs title sequence which is a little bit like dying, so I guess that was semi-accurate. Also, I would never off myself with pills. If I had to do it, I would do it the way that everyone else would do it—by hitting myself with pots and pans."
