Some fans had been shaken up a bit when news of the death of "Rocky" actor Sylvester Stallone surfaced on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media sites. The news claims that the actor was found dead in his Los Angeles, California home from an apparent overdose of prescription pills. He is said to have committed suicide.
Luckily, all those death rumors are false. Sylvester Stallone is alive and kicking. In fact, he has been very active on Instagram lately. Over the past few days, since his death rumor has started, he has posted several photos on his account proving that he is very much alive.

He has also shared some rare "Rocky IV" photos in honor of the 40th anniversary of the movie that propelled him to stardom. He even captioned a photo with his fight with Ivan Drago, "Very rare photo... Never saw this before today. Always a pleasure being Smashed by Dolph.. November 24 is the 40th anniversary of the birth of Rocky!"

His death rumor has followed a long list of Hollywood stars that was victimized by the same hoax like Jaden Smith, Angelina Jolie, Miley Cyrus, and even the Queen of England.
This has been the second time that Stallone was rumored to be dead. Back in 2013, several news publications mistakenly published that the actor has died from a horrible car accident caused by his drunk driver. It was later proven that the rumor was started by a website in need of high traffic and that the beloved actor is still alive.
A source reported that Stallone has been trying to control the situation and that he has maintained a good sense of humor about his rumored death. Furthermore, he was even spotted a few days ago at Beverly Hills looking super fit and healthy.
