China's kung fu superstar Jackie Chan was pronounced "dead" by CNM Informativo in May this year.

According to the report, Chan died of heart complications at a hospital in Hong Kong, and his wife Lin Fengjiao later confirmed the star's passing. The report went on further and stated the date of the funeral wasn't set as yet, but that Chan would be buried next to his parents.

"Ah, what can I do!" wrote Chan after learning his own "death" on his Weibo account.
