Comedian and fictional archenemy of Jerry Seinfeld Wayne Knight was recently claimed as the most recent victim of a celebrity death hoax. But as he will happily tell you himself: Wayne Knight is not dead yet.

Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but….I am alive and well! — Wayne Knight (@iWayneKnight) March 16, 2014

Does someone have to DIE to trend? Geez! Thanks for all the love everybody. I didn’t know you cared. Glad to be breathing! — Wayne Knight (@iWayneKnight) March 16, 2014

A site masquerading as Us Weekly posted the story, which claimed Knight was the victim of a fatal car accident. According to Celebuzz, the story also appeared on a similarly fake version of TMZ.

If there's a lesson to be learned here, it's that we should be critical of celebrity death reports and live each day watch every "Seinfeld" episode to the fullest.
