Keanu Reeves

Not Thai related but I got this from an FB contact. If true very sad, and news worthy.

It has been reported about 5 different times over the years that he has died. That same site reported it in 2011 with the same accident. If it was true it would be all over the web. I'm closing it as not Thai related and possibly a sick/fake rumor until it shows up in the World News - which certainly will if true.

Looking a little deeper it appears that it is a hoax that often comes up when an actor/actress dies.

"Besides Keanu Reeves being reported to have died it is also reported that Adam Sandler and Justin Beiber has died at the same mountain by the same cause. You just have to love the internet" q103albany

Same story, same site but with Justin Bieber named. http://justin.bieber.mediafetcher.com/news/top_stories/actor_skiing.php

Pretty sorry site to post junk like that.

More light now shed on this.

A Keanu Reeves death hoax began spreading on Sunday morning, and became a trending topic on Twitter. The hoax shocked some fans amid mourning for Whitney Houston, who died at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, at age 48.

The Keanu Reeves death hoax picked up speed on the heels of Houston's death. The story was spread by the fake "news" site Global Associated News, which has been known to falsely report the deaths of other actors. The site claimed that Reeves died shortly after a snowboarding accident on Sunday.

Other celebrities who have been falsely reported as dead include Adele, Rick Ross, LeBron James, Jon Bon Jovi, Charlie Sheen, Adam Sandler, TooShort, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Mac Miller, Tiger Woods, and George Clooney to name a few.
