Overview
- A November 10 Facebook post falsely announced Jackie Chan’s death, using a doctored hospital image and fabricated quotes attributed to his wife, with one outlet identifying the page Stories About US as a source.
- Reporters confirmed the actor is alive by citing his November 2 performance in Luzhou, where he received the 1573 International Poetry Prize, and his active official Instagram account.
- Some posts pushed shifting false causes, including complications from decades-old on‑set injuries or unspecified health issues, and wrongly suggested confirmation by family members.
- The claims spread across Facebook and X before being debunked within hours, as many users publicly questioned and criticized the misinformation.
- Coverage places the episode in a pattern of recurring death hoaxes targeting Chan and adds background on his current projects and a net‑worth estimate of about $400 million reported by Merca2.0.
