Eddie Murphy Isn’t Dead, Regardless of What Twitter Tells You

Eddie Murphy isn’t dead, so don’t believe anything anyone tells you on Twitter today. The actor/musician is, in fact, alive and well, contrary to reports which claim he passed away during a freak snowboarding accident. The mental image of Murphy snowboarding through Switzerland is beyond hilarious, and the fact that he supposedly died while doing it is a pretty nifty punchline to a very odd joke. As it usually happens in these cases, Murphy didn’t die. His career might be dead, but the man himself is still kicking along.

According to the folks at Global Associated News (via The Inquisitor), Murphy was vacationing with his family in Switzerland when the intrepid snowboarder found himself connecting with a large tree. Although the “Coming to America” star was airlifted to a nearby hospital for treatment, he was pronounced dead on arrival. Naturally, it didn’t take long for this bogus piece to propagate, sending Twitter users into a state of panic.

Curiously, a similar story fashioned around the actor took place back in February, with good ol’ Global Associated News reporting pretty much the same thing. Have a look:

Actor Eddie Murphy is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today – February 3, 2012. The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Eddie Murphy lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed.

In short: Eddie Murphy is not dead, which means that we may still get a sequel to “Norbit” sometime in the future. Hey, a man can dream, can’t he? Twitter users, meanwhile, have been lamenting the man’s death on the popular micro-blogging website. If you’re curious to read some of their reactions, take a peek at the comments below.

    I am glad he is still alive but my biggest concern is that the story lists him as an “actor/musician” Party All The Time does not make him a musician!

    • Eddie actually made 3 music albums of his own. The 3rd “Love’s Alright” was critically acclaimed and profiled in Billboard as noteworthy.

        Well me and my family do. We go skiing all the time and my husband snowboard and we like camping and canoeing. So leave “Us colored” folk out of it and stop being so close minded.

          Don’t know where your from but I know, including myself, a bunch of black folks who snowboard, ski, swim, camp, hike, sky dive, and everything else people do in this world for fun. That ish is fun and recommend trying it before becoming a closed minded individual.

    Snarky schmucks like this writer who have little to no life of their own are the type of idiots who gleefully say actors’ careers are dead. What a mean-spirited a$$h013. If Murphy’s career really WAS dead, no one would care. Instead, lots of folks do, even if they ARE stupid enough to believe crap they read on Twitter.

    If TMZ is not reporting it, it definitely is not true, they always get all the information first. When Michael Jackson died they were the first ones to know about it.

    It’s just a misprint–what they meant was “Eddie Murphy’s CAREER is dead.” They should really proofread these articles.

      Why are you wasting your time reading and replying? Shouldn’t you be out volunteering or something? I know a tree (not in Switzerland) that needs to be hugged. Just relax and enjoy a good joke. Eddie probably is… at least he’s getting SOME publicity…

    I dunno about you, but I actually liked Party All the Time. Of course, I was around 7-8, but as a kid, I thought it was pretty catchy. Don’t mind me though, I’ve always had a thing for catchy songs, even if I know the song sucks like no other.

    People are such idiots and are so willing to believe anything they read on the internet I actually kind of enjoy these absurd celebrity death rumors, especially when they’re written in a way that tells anyone with half a brain their not true…Eddie Murphy?…snowboarding?…in Switzerland?

    If someone said to Eddie. “Get up on this snowboard!” I’m pretty sure the words from his mouth would be “I aint getting on no mother f*****g white boy board!”
