Rumours of former California Governor and Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger's death, posted by a hoax website on Thursday, sent fans into frenzy.
The rumours started after the Los Angeles Police Department received a 911 call about an "unresponsive male" from his house.
Although the rumours were soon put to rest, the Schwarzenegger's fans had already posted their condolences on Twitter.
When people said "we never want to look like you" @Schwarzenegger replied : Don't worry, you never will. #gymaholic #RIPArnold :(

Everyone sighed a relief only after Australian body builder Calum von Moger confirmed on his Facebook page that the actor was very much alive and his death was fake news.
Arnold is NOT dead. This is a fake news website that's uses the domain MSMBC.co in order to trick readers they are believing they are reading news from MSMBC.com#fakenews

While fans could not have been happier about the news being wrong they also managed to make fun of it.
Early morning got shocked by news "Arnold Schwarzenegger dead" then relaxed after finding out it's a hoax, does this mean he cheated death??

This is not the first time though that an actor or celebrity has been called dead. Earlier, celebrities like Robert Pattinson, Jackie Chan, Adele, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and many more have fallen victim to these hoaxes.
