Later, a few smart cookies among them called out the false claims.
The actor's brother, Frank Stallone, later took to Twitter to blast the false claims.
'Rumors that my brother is dead are false. What kind of sick demented cruel mind thinks of things like this to post? People like this are mentally deranged and don’t deserve a place in society,' he wrote.

The Expendable actor hasn't responded to the hoax reports yet. But 18-months ago when such rumours were taking up the Internet by storm, Stallone had posted a photo on his Instagram account making fun of it all.
