No, there are no reliable reports that Jackie Chan “actually died.” But he has come down with another case of celebrity death hoax.
This isn’t the first time this year that the Internet killed off Chan, but that doesn’t stop the rumors from going viral each and every time.

Chan is reportedly alive, kickin’ and hard at work on a “JC World” theme park in Beijing. But there’s just something about Jackie Chan …

I've probably seen about 5 times in the past month that Jackie Chan died. Stop it already

In June, Chan addressed the “news” of his death on Facebook:
Today, everybody called to congratulate me on my rumored engagement. Afterward, everybody called me to see if I was alive.
If I died, I would probably tell the world! I took a photo with today’s date, just in case you don’t believe me! However, thank you all for your concern. Kiss kiss and love you all!

OK, so he hasn’t mentioned the rumors of his demise. But he looks decent for a dead guy.
