So far 2014 has been a year of the undead.

Earlier this month, Donald Trump killed off Jimmy Carter ... mistakenly, last month the mayor of Seattle killed off a former director of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.

Now, on Sunday, several websites killed off Wayne Knight:

US Weekly has the story:

Seinfeld alum Wayne Knight, who is best known for his role as Jerry Seinfeld's nemesis Newman, was the victim of an elaborate death hoax on Sunday, March 16. Several fake sites including TMZ Today, a fake Us Weekly site, and EBuzzd falsely reported that The Exes actor, 58, was involved in a fatal car crash with two other passengers late Saturday night. The seasoned actor took to Twitter to clarify that the rumors weren't true. "Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but....I am alive and well!" he joked.
